Heat oil in pan over medium low heat & add five spice powder. Fry for a few seconds. Add onion & fry until it is translucent, 2 or 3 minutes. Stir constantly. Add the turmeric & salt & stir briefly.

Add the chard. Reduce heat to very low, cover & cook just until the chard is green & limp. But, do not cook so much that it loses its colour. Cook for no more than 5 or 10 minutes. Remove from heat & serve at once.
