INGREDIENTS
Main Ingredients
- ·1 piece lettuce
Additional Ingredients
- ·15g garlic cloves
Seasonings
- ·5g salt
- ·10ml starch water
- ·5ml sesame oil
- ·20ml oil
DIRECTIONS
Step 1
Wash the lettuce carefully. After peeling off the outer skin, cut it into uniform long strips of 5 to 8 centimeters in length and 0.5 to 1 centimeter in width. Wash the garlic cloves and cut them into thin slices of 2 to 3 millimeters in thickness. Then set them aside for later use.
Step 2
Pour 20 milliliters of oil into the pot and heat it over medium heat. When the oil is slightly smoky and heated, put in the garlic slices and quickly stir-fry with a spatula for about 30 seconds until the garlic fragrance is emitted.
Step 3
Then pour in the lettuce strips and continuously stir-fry with a spatula for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure that the lettuce is evenly heated in the pot and start the initial ripening process.
Step 4
Add 5 grams of salt and then continue to stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes to make the lettuce fully absorb the salt and be cooked until it has a crisp taste.
Step 5
Pour in 10 milliliters of starch water and quickly stir evenly to make the soup thicken and let the lettuce be evenly coated with a thin thickening to add luster and flavor to the dish.
Step 6
Drip in 5 milliliters of sesame oil and then simply stir-fry with a spatula a few more times to make the fragrance of sesame oil blend into the dish. After that, it can be taken out of the pot and plated. Thus, the production of stir-fried lettuce is completed.
