Sauteed Watercress with Garlic

March 10, 2015 by Liza Agbanlog 6 Comments

Sauteed Watercress with Garlic This watercress recipe is the perfect side dish to any meat dish. Along with sautéed gai-lan (Chinese broccoli), this dish is our family’s favorite vegetarian dish whenever we have dim sum at Chinese restaurants. I love this awesome green not only for its amazing health benefit but also for its peppery taste. This dish is so simple and easy to make. The hard and tedious part is preparing and washing the watercress. It is an important and necessary step to remove any dirt in the leaves. Serve this tasty dish with your favorite meat and enjoy!
