2 teaspoons minced garlic

2 bunches watercress, thick stems removed

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Heat a wok or cast-iron skillet over high. When wisps of smoke rise, swirl in vegetable oil. Add minced ginger and minced garlic and cook until sizzling, 15 seconds.
