Garlic Crisp Lettuce

Ingredients:

• 300g romaine lettuce (or any crisp lettuce)
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• Optional: Red chili peppers for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lettuce: Rinse the lettuce thoroughly and let it drain completely. Tear large leaves into bite-sized pieces for easier serving.
2. Blanch the Lettuce: In a pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt along with a few drops of oil. Blanch the lettuce for about 30 seconds until slightly softened. Remove from the water, drain, and arrange on a serving plate.
3. Make the Sauce: Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until aromatic. Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, water, and sugar, stirring well. Let it simmer for about a minute.
4. Assemble the Dish: Drizzle the flavorful garlic sauce over the blanched lettuce. Garnish with red chili peppers if desired, and serve immediately.
