Stir-Fried Celtuce Stem
Description
The recipe features celtuce stem, a crisp and juicy vegetable valued for its delicate texture. After removing the tough outer skin and slicing it into bite-sized pieces, the celtuce is stir-fried over high heat with garlic, dried chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns. These aromatics infuse the dish with subtle heat and a hint of numbing spice characteristic of Sichuan cuisine. Cooking the celtuce briefly retains its natural crunch and bright flavor, while a pinch of salt enhances the overall taste.
This stir-fry stands out as a crunchy and flavorful vegetable side, pairing well with rice and other dishes in a meal. It can be adjusted for less heat by omitting the chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, focusing on the garlic flavor.
