Next, heat a wok, or a large skillet on medium to high heat. Add the oil, toss in the garlic and ginger, and cook just until fragrant. Remove the greens from the water (discard the soaking water) and toss them into the wok. Add in the 1/4 cup of water, and give them a gentle toss. Continue to toss gently, watching the greens melt down into a delicious pile of goodness. Now is the time to toss in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and the sugar. Mix well, making sure you incorporate all of the sauces. Plate, and serve with steamed rice.
