EZ VEGETARIAN FRIED MUI CHOY

This fried mui choy was actually prepared as a steaming ingredient for another dish with eggplants.  But I thought it could be served as it is too with porridge or rice.  So I am sharing it as a separate post for future reference.  For this portion, I can used it to steam eggplant or with minced meat.

sugar to taste
some light soy sauce

  1. Rinse then soak mui choy in water with some salt for 30 minutes.  Rinse 2-3 times in a large bowl of water to ensure the sand are removed.  Squeezed dry and cut.
  2. Heat up a wok, add oil saute ginger and garlic [omit garlic if serving dish for religious reason] over medium heat until aromatic.   Add red chilli, continue to fry.
