Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Choy sum
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons White pepper
Instructions
Wash the choy sum thoroughly, trimming the tough ends, and cut into 3-inch-long sections. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the ginger and slice it into thin matchsticks. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the ginger matchsticks and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to high and add the choy sum to the wok. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, tossing frequently to cook evenly.
Sprinkle the choy sum with salt and white pepper, then pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat the greens.
Continue to cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until the choy sum is bright green and tender-crisp.
Remove the wok from heat and transfer the stir-fried choy sum to a serving plate.
Serve immediately as a side dish alongside steamed rice or your favorite main course.
