Stir-Fried Xiao Bai Cai with Garlic

"Qing Cao Xiao Bai Cai"



Ingredients:

150 grams of Xiao Bai Cai
3 large cloves garlic/4-5 small cloves of garlic (Peeled /and chopped)
Cooking Oil
Tiparos Fish Sauce
Water (or Stock)

Directions:

1) Wash the vegetables thorougly to remove any dirt. Soak in water for about 15-20 minutes and cut off the hard end of the stalks. These hide a lot of dirt and worms so make sure you cut it off. Do not soak the vegetables any longer as this will result in the loss of Vitamic C. Rinse them once you've peeled the bundles into separate leaves and drip dry in a basket.

2) Stir-fry garlic in hot oil till golden brown. Throw in Xiao Bai Cai and stir fry under medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes. Lower the fire and add Tiparos Fish Sauce to taste and a couple of ladles of water. Stir fry for a minute or so and dish out onto plate. Serve warm.

Serves 1-2 people as a side dish.
