4
ingredients
- 2 1⁄4 lbs fresh kale
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- vegetable oil or peanut oil, for deep frying
directions
- Using a sharp knife, remove the thick stalks from the kale.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the kale (this step is vitally important to ensure that it remains crisp when deep-fried) - a salad spinner is perfect for this.
- Finely shred the leaves.
- Heat the oil in a wok or deep fat fryer until slightly smoking. Deep-fry the shredded greens (this is best done in batches), for about 30 seconds until they turn a slightly darker green and begin to crisp.
- Remove them immediately using a slotted spoon, drain well on kitchen paper and leave to cool.
- Transfer the kale to a bowl and sprinkle with salt and sugar to taste.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
