Garlic Romaine Lettuce | Light, Fragrant & Tasty

Hello everyone. Chinese lettuce is crisp and refreshing. It is also a favorite dish among Cantonese people. But why can we not make it taste like restaurant food at home? Today I will share a home-style method even simpler than restaurants. You do not need any cooking skills, as long as you have one pot at home. Watch once and you can easily master it. This is the season when Chinese lettuce is widely available. The texture is also the most crisp and tender. I have tried making it many times. No matter how you cook it, it will not change color. The root and leaf gaps easily hide sand, so cleaning it is a bit troublesome. You can do it like me. First cut off the tough root part. Then cut the lettuce into small sections. After all is done, put everything into a large bowl. Pour in enough water to cover the lettuce. Stir it gently. Set aside and soak for three minutes. After three minutes, wash the lettuce carefully. Many friends ask why use salt to wash it. Salt helps with sterilizing and disinfecting. It absorbs residues and impurities on the surface, so the cleaning is more thorough. Then rinse with clean water several times until the surface slime is washed away. Drain and set aside. This dish only needs plenty of garlic. Smash it. Then chop it into minced garlic. No other ingredients are needed. Next, heat the pan. Add a suitable amount of cooking oil. Add the minced garlic. Stir-fry on low heat until the garlic becomes fragrant. Dear friends, making videos is not easy. I share simple and practical home cooking every day. If this recipe helps improve your cooking, please like, comment, or share so more people can see it. Thank you very much for your support. Stir-fry for about two minutes. Seasoning is very simple. Add five grams of sugar, five grams of matsutake seasoning, and finally 15 grams of light soy sauce. Continue stir-frying. Let the garlic fully absorb the flavor. When everything is evenly colored, you can plate it and set aside. Heat the pan again without oil. No water is needed. Add all the clean lettuce into the pan. Pour the cooked garlic sauce on top. Turn the heat to maximum. Cover and let it steam for two minutes. After covering, steam will form. And coat the lettuce evenly. The lettuce itself has high water content, so no extra water is needed. The moment you open the lid, the aroma is amazing. Stir a few times and it is ready. A simple and delicious braised garlic lettuce is done. Is it super easy? And it looks just as good as restaurant food. Most importantly, the texture is very crisp and tender. Even after two hours, it will not change color. Let me tell you a little secret. This is a signature dish ordered every day at my family restaurant. Once you learn it, you can enjoy restaurant flavors without going out. All right, that is all for today. See you next time. Wishing everyone happiness every day.
