Choy Sum with Oyster Sauce Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • 1 pound choy sum
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons water, divided, or as needed
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch, or more to taste
  1. Bring a large saucepan of water, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, 1 pinch salt, and 1 pinch sugar to a boil. Add choy sum and cook for 30 seconds. Drain, pressing gently to squeeze out excess water. Place choy sum on a serving dish.
  2. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons water, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, and monosodium glutamate; bring to a boil.
  3. Mix remaining 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Pour into the wok; cook and stir until sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over the choy sum.
