Instructions
1
Prep
Drain the fern bracken well, trim any tough fibrous ends, and cut into 3-inch lengths. Mince the garlic and slice the scallion. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant, then set aside.
2
Saute
Heat the vegetable oil in the skillet over medium heat, add garlic, and saute for 30 seconds until light golden. Add the fern bracken and stir-fry for 3 minutes until the strands soften and turn a deeper olive green.
3
Saute
Pour in the water and soy sauce, stir, and simmer over medium-low heat for 3 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the bracken looks glossy.
4
Plate
Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil and salt until evenly coated. Add the scallion, scatter toasted sesame seeds on top, and serve at room temperature.
