DELICIOUS KALE (OR OTHER GREENS)

3 Bunches fresh kale (3 to 4 pounds)
6 Large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons soy sauce

Wash greens well. Remove and discard tough ribs and stems. Slice leaves into ½-inch-wide ribbons. Bring 1½ cups water and soy sauce to a boil in a large pot over moderate heat. Add garlic and simmer, uncovered, for 1 minute; do not let garlic brown. Add greens, toss to coat with seasonings, cover, and cook until greens are wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. If too much liquid remains in the pan, uncover and simmer until juices are reduced and concentrated.
