1 sliceginger

Instructions

Step 1

Roughyl chop, wash and spin your lettuce. Then mix a very simple sauce with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and sugar in a small bowl.

Step 2

Heat some oil on high heat and fry off some garlic and ginger until fragrant - add your lettuce, give it a stir, adding the sauce and cook just for a few minutes total. The idea is to cook it hot and fast as you still want the lettuce to keep some crunch. Discard the ginger pieces.

Step 3

Then serve with some freshly steamed rice and get this one into your face. You’ll never chuck out unused lettuce again!
