Ingredients

Instructions

1. Separate the leaves from the stems: either cut each plant in one horizontal chop, or cut the stems apart and then chop off the leaves.
2. Slice the garlic, leaving some slices and mincing the rest.
3. Cut the ginger into slices about 1/8 thick, using roughly 4 slices for 1 lb of choy sum.
4. Heat the wok over high heat for about a minute, add a dash of oil, then lower to medium-low.
5. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 15 seconds, until fragrant.
6. Add the stems and stir-fry for about 30 seconds.
7. Add the leaves, raise the heat to high, then add the cooking wine and sugar and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
8. Do not add the salt yet. Lower the heat to medium or low, cover, and steam for about 1.5 to 2 minutes, until the choy sum is tender and just cooked through.
9. Uncover, turn the heat to the highest setting, and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the salt.
10. Drizzle over the finishing oil, toss for about 20 seconds, then plate.
