Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
1 pinch salt
1 pinch white sugar
1 pound choy sum
½ teaspoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons water, divided, or as needed
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
½ teaspoon soy sauce
¼ teaspoon white sugar
⅛ teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, 1 pinch salt, and 1 pinch sugar to a boil. Add choy sum and cook for 30 seconds. Drain, pressing gently to squeeze out excess water. Place choy sum on a serving dish.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my choy sum turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked it.

The choy sum was a bit too bitter for my taste, but the oyster sauce helped to balance it out. Overall, it was a good dish.

This choy sum with oyster sauce dish was an absolute delight! The flavors were incredibly balanced, with the oyster sauce providing a rich and savory base that perfectly complemented the slightly bitter greens of the choy sum.
