Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped fine
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 heads escarole (2 pounds), trimmed and sliced ½ inch thick
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
Heat olive oil in Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in half of escarole and cook until beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes. Stir in remaining escarole and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until greens are tender, about 10 minutes.
Uncover and increase heat to medium. Stir in hoisin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Cook until most of liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
