Steps:
- Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet or wok (not nonstick) over medium heat until hot. Add oil, then garlic, and cook, tossing constantly, until garlic is deep golden. Add watercress and salt, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook, tossing constantly, 45 seconds. Add stock and toss again, then cook, covered, until stems are crisp-tender and leaves are just wilted, about 20 seconds.
- Serve with garlic cloves arranged on top.
STIR-FRIED WATERCRESS WITH BEAN SAUCE
Stir-fried vegetables are almost as common in Southeast Asia as they are in China, and even the spices are similar. But the addition of dried shrimp and the use of nam pla are dead giveaways that this dish is from Indochina. It's usually made on the fiery side, so feel free to increase the chiles if you like. Information on fish sauces like nam pla is on page 500\. Other vegetables you can prepare this way: Green beans, parboiled broccoli or cauliflower, or a mixture of onions and peppers. All will take a little longer than fast-cooking watercress.

Steps:
- If you're using them, soak the dried shrimp in hot water to cover until softened, just a few minutes. Combine them in a small food processor with the chiles, garlic, and shallots and process to a paste. Toss with the watercress.
- Put the oil in a skillet or wok over high heat; a minute later, add the watercress and paste. Cook, stirring almost constantly, for about a minute, or until the watercress wilts. Stir in 2 tablespoons water, then the bean sauce, sugar, nam pla, and pepper; cook for 10 seconds, then turn off the heat.
- Taste and add salt or other seasoning as necessary. Stir in the basil and serve.
SIAMESE WATERCRESS WITH YELLOW BEANS AND GARLIC
The Thai name is "Pat Pak Bung Fy Daeng". From David Thompson's book, Classic Thai Cuisine. David says, "This stir-fry is a favourite of the Thais. Often they crumble a little roasted kapi (shrimp paste) and a few dried prawns (shrimp) into this dish." He also says that any green vegetable can be used in place of the Siamese watercress, such as spinach or asparagus.
