Sposób przygotowania
Krok po kroku
- 1
Thoroughly wash the romaine lettuce leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit.
Około 2 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Ensure the lettuce is well-drained or gently patted dry to prevent excess water from diluting the sauce.
- 2
Roughly chop the washed romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches in length.
Około 1 min
- 3
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: For a milder garlic flavor, you can thinly slice the garlic instead of mincing.
- 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, water, and sesame oil until well combined and smooth.
Około 2 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Taste the sauce and adjust the soy sauce or oyster sauce to your preference; some brands are saltier than others.

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until a wisp of smoke appears.

Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for 15-30 seconds until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Burnt garlic will impart a bitter taste to the dish, so watch it closely.

This quick and easy side dish is incredibly versatile. It pairs wonderfully with richer main courses like roasted meats, grilled fish, or other stir-fries. For a vegetarian option, use a mushroom-based vegetarian oyster sauce. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic for a touch of heat.
Store any leftover stir-fried lettuce in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Reheating may cause the lettuce to become overly soft. If necessary, gently warm in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until just heated through.
