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.

This was a great recipe! I used baby bok choy instead of lettuce and it was delicious. The garlic and soy sauce gave it a great flavor.

This stir-fried garlic lettuce is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The lettuce is cooked until it is wilted and slightly browned, and the garlic is fragrant and slightly crispy. The dish is simple, but it is very flavorful
