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)
1 teaspoon cornstarch, or more to taste

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.

The choy sum was a bit tough. I think I overcooked it. Otherwise, the dish was good.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra ginger and garlic next time.
