Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams jungle fern
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 whole red chili
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Start by rinsing the jungle fern thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Trim the hard stems and set aside the tender parts for cooking.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Slice the red chili thinly. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped garlic and sliced chili to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the garlic is golden brown and aromatic.
Add the jungle fern to the skillet. Toss it quickly with the garlic and chili, making sure the fern is well coated with oil.
Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 5-6 minutes until the fern is tender but still slightly crisp.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything one last time to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fried jungle fern to a serving dish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or with steamed rice as a main dish.
