Yau Mak Recipe with Garlic and Soy Sauce

Yau Mak (Chinese Lettuce) is similar to Romaine lettuce. But it’s usually cooked instead of eaten raw.

This Chinese recipe for blanched yau mak is dressed with a simple seasoned garlic soy sauce.

INGREDIENTS:

Chinese lettuce

Light soy sauce

Oil

Garlic

Red chili pepper

Bring water to a boil in a wok or stock pot. Once boiling, add the lettuce and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the light soy sauce and seasoned soy sauce. Mince the garlic and dice the red chili pepper.

Drain the cooked yau mak and return the empty wok to the stove.

Once the bottom of the wok is dry, add oil, garlic, and chili pepper.

When the garlic becomes aromatic (don’t let it brown), pour in the soy sauce and let it bubble for half a minute.
