Collard Greens Doenjang Bokkeum Stir Fried Collard Greens With Food

Recipes sometimes tell a much larger story about migration and place, as traditional ingredients step aside for what may be more readily available. Such is the case with this dish from Yung Chow, published in The Times in 2003 with an article about the history of Chinese American families who settled in the Mississippi Delta. When Ms. Chow couldn't find Chinese broccoli or bok choy in her local markets, she turned to collard greens, which she stir-fried with garlic and flavored with oyster sauce. Amanda Hesser, who included this recipe in "The Essential New York Times Cookbook," said that the wok "really brings out the minerality of collards, and this goes so well with the sweetness of oyster sauce."
