Notes: This dish is similar to a wilted salad; the lettuce should retain some crunch. Serve with the ginger chicken. Ingredients:
1 head iceberg lettuce (1 1/2 lb.) |
1 1/2 teaspoons regular soy sauce |
1 1/2 teaspoons asian (toasted) sesame oil |
1 teaspoon shao xing rice wine or dry sherry |
3/4 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
1 tablespoon salad oil |
3 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed |
Directions:
1. Rinse and drain lettuce thoroughly. Cut out and discard core. Separate leaves and tear into 3- by 5-inch pieces.
2. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, wine, sugar, salt, and pepper.
3. Set a 14-inch wok or 12-inch frying pan over high heat. When hot, add oil and garlic; stir-fry until garlic just begins to brown, about 30 seconds. Add lettuce and stir just until slightly limp but still bright green and somewhat crisp, about 2 minutes (if all the lettuce doesn't fit, add half, stir until slightly wilted-about 30 seconds-then stir in the remaining leaves). Stir in soy sauce mixture. Pour onto a platter and serve immediately.
