Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 medium garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 pound hearts of romaine lettuce, cut crosswise into 1-inch-wide pieces
1 teaspoon sesame oil (see note)

Steps:

  • Combine the rice wine or sherry, soy sauce, sugar, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in the vegetable oil, add the garlic, and stir-fry for 5 seconds. Add the lettuce and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it is just limp. Stir the sauce, swirl it into the wok, and stir-fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute more, or until the lettuce is just tender and still bright green. Remove from the heat, drizzle on the sesame oil, and serve.

STIR-FRIED LETTUCE



Stir-Fried Lettuce image

This is great if you have a head of lettuce that you have to use right away. Even if you don't, its still a great side dish to any asian meal. Simple to make, with common ingredients, its a keeper for sure. Try different lettuce varieties, I used romane tonight since its what was on hand. I also didn't have sesamee oil tonight so I used walnut oil and it was still a winner. I like to toss in some toasted sesame seeds and if I have them on hand a green onion, chopped, is nice to add with the lettuce. As you can see, this recipe leaves a huge opening for your own additions and variations.

STIR-FRIED LETTUCE WITH GARLIC



Stir-fried Lettuce with Garlic image

Many people think of iceberg lettuce as only something to layer on a burger or sandwich or toss in a salad. Others dismiss iceberg lettuce all together because it is low on nutrients but I love iceberg lettuce. Its cool and crisp low in calories and although not nutrient dense it is high in water content, which makes it very...

  • In a wok or frying pan add your canola oil, ginger and garlic and fry about 1 minute until aromatic.
  • Add the cut and dried romaine lettuce, salt and white pepper (I prefer the light flavours of just a light dusting of salt and white pepper but you can also use one tablespoon of soya sauce (tamari) or even 1/2 teaspoon of gluten free vegetable powder, if you wish), sugar (optional), shoaxing wine and toss quickly. Immediately Remove from heat: It is very important that you remove the roam in lettuce from heat while the romaine is just starting to wilt as the heat from the pan will continue to cook the romaine lettuce even after you remove it from the heat. Drizzle over sesame oil and dried chili flakes if desired and toss.
