Stir Fried Lettuce With Garlic Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Wash the head of lettuce, separating leaves and then drain well. Tear lettuce into bite size pieces or cut the lettuce leaves into 1-inch wide pieces and set aside.
• 2. Combine the rice wine, soy sauce, salt, and sugar in a small bowl, and set aside.
• 3. Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add oil, add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes if using when the oil is hot. Stir-fry for about 5 seconds or just until aromatic; add the lettuce and stir-fry an additional 1-2 minutes or just until the lettuce is limp.
• 4. Stir the sauce and then pour around the lettuce mixture in the wok and stir-fry for 30-60 seconds until the lettuce is tender but still bright green. Remove from heat and finish it off by drizzling on the sesame. Serve immediately.
• 5. The Chinese consider lettuce to be a "lucky" food and it is often served during the Chinese New Year. I hope you enjoy this recipe if you try it and I hope that it brings you luck if you do. ;)

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.

Steps:

• Using a sharp paring knife, run it around the core of the lettuce, then gently pull it out. Remove any discolored outer layers of the lettuce and discard. Tear the lettuce into large chunks. Wash the leaves and allow them to drain after gently shaking in a colander.
• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetarian stir-fry or oyster sauce, sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt. Season with pepper.
• Heat a large (12-inch) deep skillet on medium-high. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to lightly coat the pan, then add the ginger and cook for 15 to 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the lettuce and stir-fry for 2 minutes, until it starts to wilt. Pour the sauce over the lettuce and stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes. (Take care not to overcook, as you want your lettuce to retain some crunch.) Taste and season with salt, if needed. Place the lettuce (and all the pan juices) in a bowl and set aside. Once your skillet is cool enough to handle, rinse it out and dry.
• To the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the ¼ cup olive oil and sliced garlic. Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the garlic turns a pale golden brown. (Watch carefully! It burns quickly.) Remove the garlic from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain; it will continue to brown and crisp as it cools.
• To the remaining oil in the skillet over medium-high heat, add the eggs and cook untouched until whites are set, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve, place a mound of rice in a bowl, top with lettuce, some pan juices, a fried egg, crispy garlic and a scatter of sesame seeds and scallions. Finish with a tiny drizzle of Maggi seasoning sauce, if using.
