Shredded Kale with Cherry Tomatoes and Tamari Dressing

This side dish is super quick to make and will go with just about any East Asian main you care to add it to. The kale is fried on a medium-high heat in sesame oil until wilted, then tomatoes and garlic are added to give a wonderful vibrant colour and flavour. The dressing is poured on after cooking, just as you would a salad.
You can also have this as a light lunch with some gluten-free bread, or serve it over some rice noodles for a simple and pleasing dish.
