Blanched vegetables with garlic

Now, for today, here is an easy and healthy way to cook your vegetables. Blanching and then top it with light soya sauce and chopped fried garlic.

Vegetables suitable to be cooked in this style are green leafy ones like the chinese brocoli (or better known as kai-lan), chinese lettuce, xiao bai cai (or I think it is known as Chinese mustard green in English). Anyway, I think you get the idea.

Here, I use the Chinese Lettuce.

Ingredients:
2 cloves of garlic chopped finely
About 3 heads of Chinese Lettuce(washed)

1-2 tablespoons of light soya sauce
2 tablespoons of cooking oil

Method:

1. Fry the chopped garlic in oil until it is slightly browned. Remove the garlic and the oil from the frying pan.
2. Put some water to boil. Add in a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of cooking oil.
3. When the water has boiled, put in the vegetables and blanched it for about 2 minutes. Do not leave it in the boiling water for too long.
4. Remove the vegetables from the water and arrange it nicely on a plate.
5. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of light soya sauce(depending on individual taste) onto the vegetables. Lastly, top it with the oil and fried garlic from step 1.
   
   
   And... you are done!
