Last Sunday at the local market I was intrigued by one stall selling something I thought was pak choi
; but the seller told us the origin of this veg. is France. Whatever it
is, the taste is good and do remind me of the chinese pak choi.
This is a simple preparation, you only need cooking oil, sesame seeds,
ready-made crispy shallots/onions and soy sauce. This method also works
well with iceberg lettuce, egg noodles, bean sprouts or anything that
you could think of.
Cantonese-style Vegetable dish
Ingredients
1 bunch of Vegetable of your choice,
1-2 tablespoon of cooking oil
garlic, optional
light soy sauce, to taste
For garnishing
ready made crispy shallots/onions
sesame seeds, toasted
Method :-
1) Heat water in sauce pan , and blanch vegetable just until wilted to take away the rawness. Drain.
2) In a non-stick pan, toast some sesame seed. After toasting, set aside to be used later as garnish.
3) In the same non-stick pan, heat up the cooking oil, once heated and
if you're using garlic as aromatic, start saute until golden brown and
remove from heat. If not using garlic, just removed heated cooking oil
from heat and pour in dashes of soy sauce to taste. Mix in the blanched
vegetable and mix well. And you're ready.
4) Serve on a dish, garnish with toasted sesame seeds and crispy shallots.
