Note

The original ingredients list included an empty item for 6 cups. This is likely intended for leafy greens such as napa cabbage, chopped spinach, or a mix of coarsely chopped pak choi, chard, and kale. Add these greens after the garlic is fragrant and cook until wilted.

For best flavor, use fresh garlic and thinly slice the onions evenly for consistent cooking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
