Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 head of Chinese lettuce (washed and separated)

Sauces & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Other Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat until hot enough for sautéing.
  2. Sauté garlic: Add minced garlic to the pan and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Cook lettuce: Add the separated Chinese lettuce leaves to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they start to wilt but still maintain some crunch.
  4. Prepare sauce: While cooking the lettuce, mix oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and water in a small bowl to combine.
  5. Add sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the lettuce in the pan and continue to stir-fry for another 1 minute, ensuring the lettuce is evenly coated and cooked through.
  6. Finish with sesame oil: Drizzle sesame oil over the cooked lettuce, give it a final toss, and remove from heat.
  7. Serve hot: Transfer the lettuce with oyster sauce to a serving dish and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh Chinese lettuce for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcook the lettuce to maintain its crunchiness.
  • Adjust the amount of oyster sauce and soy sauce to taste if you prefer a saltier or milder flavor.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or as a side to other Chinese main dishes.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute oyster sauce with mushroom sauce or vegetarian oyster sauce.
