Ingredients
- Choy Sum (amount up to you really, just wash them thoroughly. Then, pluck and separate the stem from the leaves. For the thicker part of the stem, try to remove the “skin” using a knife)
- About 5 bulbs of shallots and / or garlic (slice shallots or finely chopped garlic)
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt + 1 tablespoon of palm oil
- 3 tablespoons of palm oil (for frying)
- Water for boiling
Seasoning
Oyster sauce (amount up to you)
Directions
1. Heat up 3 tablespoons of palm oil in a wok and fry the shallots or garlic till golden brown.
2. Remove fried shallots / garlic and set aside. Keep the oil separately.
3. Meanwhile, bring water to boil in a pot. Once it starts boiling, add salt and 1 tablespoon of palm oil. Allow water to boil briskly.
4. Add choy sum stems into the boiling water. Add leaves approximately 15 seconds after that. Stir well to ensure even blanching.
5. Once leaves have turned dark green, remove leaves and stem from pot and arrange on a plate.
6. Drizzle the oil (which was used to fry the shallots / garlic) over the cooked choy sum followed by oyster sauce and top it up with fried shallots / garlic.
