Spring greens with garlic and soy sauce

Side Serves 4 10 min

Spring greens are tender, full of flavour and packed with vitamins – they almost taste of new life. This is a good, simple way to enjoy the best of their robust texture and zestiness. You may be tempted to add chilli, ginger or lemon, but try this first without.
