Instructions

  1. Remove the leaves from the center stem. Take the time to soak and wash them a few times. Shake off the excess water.
  2. For the center stem, peel the skin and eat them as is (tossed with a little salt and sesame oil to make a nice salad), or slice them thinly and cook them along with the rest of the dish. Cut the long leaves into 3-inch (8cm) sections. Spin the leaves in a salad spinner until they’re nice and dry.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the water, oyster sauce (or vegetarian oyster sauce), salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  4. Heat the wok over medium heat until it’s just starting to smoke. Add the oil and garlic. Let it cook for a few seconds, then immediately turn up the heat to high, and add the AA choy.
  5. Stir the vegetables a few times. When the vegetables are about 50% wilted, add the prepared sauce. Mix everything well, and once the leaves have just started to wilt, turn off the heat. Serve immediately.
