Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 Red chili, thinly sliced
- 400 grams Mixed Asian greens (e.g., bok choy, Chinese broccoli, or morning glory), washed and roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons Light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
When the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sliced chilies, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the mixed greens to the wok. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the greens begin to wilt.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and water.
Pour the sauce mixture over the greens and toss to coat evenly. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the greens are tender but still vibrant.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may add a little more soy sauce or fish sauce for added saltiness.
Transfer the sautéed greens to a serving dish and garnish with lime wedges, if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish to complement rice or any Thai-inspired main course.
