Ru Yi Cai (“As You Wish” Vegetables, 如意菜)
Description
Ru Yi Cai (“As You Wish” Vegetables) uses soybean sprouts and tatsoi or Shanghai bok choy leaves stir-fried at high heat with sliced garlic, oyster sauce, and balanced seasonings. The quick stir-fry keeps the sprouts crisp while gently wilting the leafy greens, allowing their natural texture and mild flavor to come through alongside the savory oyster sauce and a mild hint of sweetness and saltiness.
Garlic slices release aroma early in the cooking, enhancing the taste while the final addition of sesame oil and white pepper adds gentle nuttiness and mild spicy warmth to the dish. It is served hot immediately to preserve the tender, fresh texture and bright green color that characterize this simple but flavorful vegetable side dish.
Ingredients
- 3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic (sliced)
- 225 g soybean sprouts (8 ounces, trimmed)
- 300 g tatsoi (or Shanghai bok choy, 10 ounces, leaves separated and washed thoroughly)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (or vegetarian oyster sauce)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
- Heat 3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok over high heat, and cook garlic for a few seconds. Add the soybean sprouts, and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
- Add the leafy greens (tatsoi or Shanghai bok choy), and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the oyster sauce, salt, sugar, sesame oil, and white pepper. Stir-fry everything together for another 1 to 2 minutes, until vegetables are wilted to your liking. Serve immediately.
