Stir-Fried Yu Choy (aka Yau Choi and Choi Sum) with Oyster Sauce
Ingredients
12 oz yu choy (about 9 stalks)
2 tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp fish sauce
2 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1/8 tsp ground white pepper
Directions
Trim 1/4-inch from the stem end of each yu choy stalk. Cut the stalks in half lengthwise if 1/2-inch or more in diameter. In a small bowl combine the oyster sauce and fish sauce.
Heat a large flat-bottomed wok (or large skillet) over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1-2 seconds of contact. Swirl in the oil, add the garlic, and stir-fry 10 seconds or until the garlic is fragrant. Add the yu choy and stir-fry 30 seconds or until the pieces are lightly coated in the oil. Sprinkle on the pepper and stir-fry 1 minute or until the leaves are just limp and the yu choy is bright green. Add the oyster sauce mixture to the wok and stir-fry 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the yu choy is just crisp-tender.
