Wok Tossed Lettuce

Wok Tossed Lettuce

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 1 large Coles iceberg lettuce (using slightly wilted lettuce is OK) 

  • 1 tbsp Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled, roughly chopped

  • 2 tsp ginger, julienne

  • 25 g butter

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce

  • ½ tsp honey

  • ½ tsp Coles black pepper (grinder)

  • 1 tsp Coles Asia sesame oil

Method

  • Wash the lettuce in a bowl of ice cold water (this will revive the lettuce if it is wilted), then drain well and chop into 8 wedges. Set aside.

  • Heat a wok over a high heat and pour in the oil. Add in the garlic, and ginger and cook for 40 seconds, or until fragrant.

  • Add in the lettuce and stir for 30 seconds before adding in the butter, oyster sauce, honey and black pepper. Continue to stir fry for 1 - 2 minutes, or until the lettuce is slightly wilted, but still has some texture in the core.

  • Drizzle in the sesame oil at the last moment then remove the wok from the heat and place onto a serving plate. Serve immediately.

  • *Best served with steamed rice, egg or pork dishes.
