Return the greens to the skillet, toss to coat in the pan juices, and sprinkle generously with the toasted sesame seeds before serving.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic.
If you don't have sake, dry sherry can be used as a substitute.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the bitterness of your mustard greens.
