Chinese Recipe – Stir Fried Lettuce with Oyster Sauce

This is a Southern Chinese recipe Ingredients: 2 heads Romaine lettuce 2 tbsps oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 tsps dry sherry 1 tsp salt ½ tsp sugar 2 tbsps oyster sauce, or soy sauce Directions: Separate the lettuce into leaves and break into 2 inch pieces Heat the oil in a pan and add the garlic, sherry, salt, sugar and then the lettuce leaves. Cover and cook for 1 minute. Drain the lettuce and arrange on a serving dish. Pour the oyster sauce (or soy sauce) on top of the lettuce and serve hot as a main dish, or cold as a salad. Note: Broccoli or Chinese cabbage (bok choy) may be used in place of the lettuce.

This recipe is pretty easy, but I’m quite sure it is not the way western people cook with romaine lettuce. In my point of view, western people like to have romaine lettuce as a salad but seldom as a dish. Maybe you should try that out and see how it tastes.

I found the video which teaches us to make chicken lettuce wrap, it looks delicious!!
