Yu Choy

Yu choy, a leafy green vegetable, is blanched briefly to maintain its crisp-tender texture and bright color. It is then tossed in a simple yet savory sauce made of garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and neutral cooking oil. The garlic-infused oil and umami-rich seasonings enhance the fresh vegetable's natural flavor, creating a subtly fragrant side dish served immediately while warm and vibrant.
