- Check on onions. Keep mixing. The amount of caramelization is up to the cook. The deeper the better.
- Right before onions are done, add the chopped garlic. Heat for a minute or two.
- Once caramelization of the onions are done, lower the heat to low, add the black pepper and mix onions again.
- Add all of the kale, and pour in the soy sauce all over. Keep heating kale until it shrinks.
- When possible, start stirring everything until well combined. The kale will continue to shrink. Raise temperature to medium low. Continue to saute until texture is optimal.
- Serve!
