Wash the kale, but let the water cling to it. Cut off and discard the tough stems. Slice the leaves once down the middle, then cut them crosswise into 1 inch wide strips; set aside.

In a wok, heat the oil. Add the garlic. Saute for 10 seconds.

Add the kale and the stock. Cover and steam for 3 minutes until the kale wilts.

Add the soy sauce. Top the kale with sesame seeds and fresh ground pepper. Serve.
