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.

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.
