Watercress Stir-Fry image

Delicate watercress often gets the salad or garnish treatment, but it offers far more than just a sprinkle of peppery flavor. Harness its nutritional power in this energizing stir-fry, where ginger, garlic, and sesame oil impart bold flavor and the watercress brings antioxidants and calcium.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my stir-fry turned out mushy. I think I overcooked the watercress.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less chili pepper.
