- 6 cups roughly chopped kale lightly packed
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cups roughly chopped green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons butter or avocado oil for paleo

- 1-2 cloves garlic minced

Start by washing and chopping your vegetables. Roughly chop the kale, broccoli, and green cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet or wok, melt the butter over medium heat. If using avocado oil, heat until it shimmers slightly.
Add the minced garlic and ground ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the chopped kale, broccoli florets, and green cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine and coat the vegetables.
Pour the gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos over the vegetables. Add crushed red pepper to your spice preference. Stir to combine.
Add the water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the vegetables steam for about 5-7 minutes until tender but vibrant.
Remove the lid, give everything a final stir, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve warm.
- Use avocado oil and coconut aminos to make this recipe paleo-friendly.
- Avoid overcooking to keep vegetables tender-crisp and colorful.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently with a splash of water to keep veggies moist.
