Ingredients (14)

  • 1 inch nub of ginger, grated or finely chopped (grate it on a Microplane and you won’t have to peel it!)

  • 1/4 cup quality peanut oil, olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

  • 1 big bunch watercress, very roughly chopped
  • 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 to 3 stalks of celery, thinly sliced and roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onion, chopped (include both white and green parts)
