  • About

Although lettuce is most commonly eaten raw in salads and sandwiches in the West, it is delicious quickly cooked Chinese-style in a wok.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 slices fresh ginger, peeled
  • 2-3

Method

  • Heat the wok over a high heat until smoke rises. Add the oil and swirl it around. Add the ginger, then the white scallions, and let sizzle for a few seconds to release their aroma. Add the lettuce and, sliding the wok scoop to the bottom of the wok, flip and turn for 2-3 minutes. Then add the salt and oyster sauce. Add the green scallions, stir, and remove to a serving plate.
