It is crisp and easy to chew.

This is an easy stir fry for Napa and other leafy greens like Collards.

Oil,
garlic cloves
Sesame seeds
Shredded cabbage
Soy sauce
Sesame oil
A bit of water to steam the cabbage

Mince garlic then lightly sauté. When soft add the sesame seeds and cook until they start changing color. Add cabbage and soy sauce. Cook until soft. Add a bit of sesame oil. A little goes a long way.

Do it with Collards, a mild leafy green. My favorite. Broccoli works great too.
