Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat a wok over high heat until very hot; the metal will have a matte appearance, and a drop or two of water flicked onto its surface should evaporate on contact. Add the oil and heat until oil is shimmering but not smoking.

  2. Step 2

    Add fried shallots and garlic, cook 10 seconds, then add Swiss chard and rice wine and toss well to combine. Add fish sauce and chicken stock (or 2 tablespoons water) and continue stir-frying, tossing ingredients together, until chard is just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; serve immediately.

This recipe was a revelation. Loved all of the flavors. Will make this again, and share with chard-loving friends! Next time we make this, I might add the fried shallots on top of the already cooked chard. It’s great as written, though.
