Preparation
- Step 1
Place water, ginger, 1 teaspoon of salt and baking soda in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add chicory and blanch until bright green, about 10 seconds. Remove from heat, run cold water into the pot, drain well and pat dry.
- Step 2
Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat. Add the scallion oil and ¼ teaspoon of salt and use a spatula to coat the pan with the oil. When a wisp of white smoke appears, add the chicory and toss it in the oil, using a chopstick to separate the leaves if they clump together. Stir-fry for 1½ minutes. Season with additional salt to taste. Place in a heated dish and serve immediately.
