Add your 1/4 cup water when the oil or water used in the beginning is no longer in the pan.  Cover with lid and continue to let cook.  The Longer this cooks on low to medium heat the better the flavors.   Just keep checking how the kale is and this is a good guage for when its done.  The optional ingredients are not required for this to taste good but are good additions to add variation.
