Choy Sum
Too wet. Too chewy.
Is that because it's overcooked?
Or should I have cut it ?
It looked so lovely and baby-ish, I didn't expect them to get tough.
Stir Fried Choy Sum (Flowering Chinese Cabbage)
Ingredients
2 tbsp peanut or sunflower oil
500-600g choy sum, trimmed, washed and cut into two
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp corn flour
3 tbsp water
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp caster sugar
Heat the oil in a wok over a moderate-high heat. Add the garlic and choy sum and stir until it is just wilted.
Mix all the ingredients for the sauce together in a container. Stir the sauce in with the choy sum. Cook for 1-2 minutes stirring as sauce thickens. Add the sesame oil and toss it so it coats the choy sum and serve.
To Serve: Remove the choy sum from the wok and lay it out on serving dish. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the choy sum. Serve with steamed rice and accompanying dishes.
