Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 8 cups kale, chopped
- 4 cups green cabbage, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 4 cups broccoli, cut into florets
Seasonings and Liquids
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions
- Heat oil and aromatics: Add the vegetable oil to a large dutch oven or wok over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the minced garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, for about 15 seconds until fragrant.
- Cook kale and cabbage: Add the chopped kale and green cabbage to the pot and stir well, cooking for 1 minute to slightly soften the greens while blending the flavors with the aromatics.

- Steam the vegetables: Cover the pot tightly with a lid to steam the vegetables. Let them cook for 3 minutes until tender but still crisp, allowing the broth to infuse the greens with flavor.
- Serve: Remove the lid and transfer the super greens to a serving dish. Serve hot as a nutritious, vibrant side dish alongside your favorite main courses.
