Just Cooked Pak Choi with Crispy Garlic

A light and tasty main meal or side dish.  In this recipe we have used Pak Choi which can be found in most supermarkets but tenderstem broccoli is a delicious alternative.  The ingredient that really makes this dish different is the crispy garlic and the garlic flavoured oil.  The garlic oil (optional) and oyster sauce should be drizzled sparingly for the best flavour.

Ingredients

280g Pak Choi
3 tbsp Wing Yip Oyster Sauce
2 Cloves Fresh Garlic
4 tbsp Vegetable or Peanut Oil


Method

1. Chop the garlic and fry in oil (stirring constantly) until golden. Remove from heat
    before it becomes too dark, as garlic will continue to cook in the hot oil.

2. Spoon the crispy garlic on to some kitchen paper and keep aside until serving.

3. Cut the pak choi in half down the centre ensuring core is intact.

4. Bring a large pan of water to the boil.

5. Plunge the pak choi into the hot water.

6. Cook for 30 seconds or so (until stems are just cooked).

7. If cooking with tenderstem broccoli, cook until the stems turn translucent.

8. Drain well and place on a warm plate.

9. Mix the oyster sauce with 1-2 tablespoons of warm water.

10. Drizzle the oyster sauce over pak choi and then the garlic oil.

11. Garnish with crispy garlic and serve immediately.
