Spring's 'Golden Lettuce': Simple 3-Step Recipe for Refreshing and Crispy Greens - You Won't Be Able to Stop at One Bite!

Lettuce, also known as Chinese celery, also has another name called spring greens and golden celery. It is generally produced from January to April each year, so this season is the most tender time for lettuce. It tastes crisp and refreshing, and very delicious. There are many ways to cook it, such as raw, cold mix, stir-fry or marinate.

Like most vegetables, lettuce also contains a very rich amount of vitamins, and also contains a lot of folic acid. So it is described as 'Spring lettuce is like gold'. From this we can imagine that the edible value of lettuce is very high.

Recently, it's Qingming Festival, and people are going home and eating a lot of big fish and big meat. When I came back, I specially brought back a lot of lettuce from my hometown, all grown by my aunt. I've had many meals of stir-fried lettuce. It's refreshing and relieves the greasy feeling. The key is that the preparation method is simple enough to believe. Today, I'm going to share this fast-paced dish with you, which you can learn in 3 minutes.

——Stir-fried Lettuce with Shreds——

Ingredients Preparation

2 fresh lettuce, 2 green onions, 1 small spoon of oyster sauce, 1 small spoon of edible salt.

Production Steps

First step: Prepare fresh lettuce, use a knife to peel off the outer skin. It is not easy to peel lettuce, so when friends do this step, be careful not to cut your hands. Keep the tender leaves at the top, which are also very delicious.

Second step: First slice the peeled lettuce into slices, then slice it into shreds. Also prepare two green onions, cut them into chopped green onions, and arrange them on a plate for later use.

Third step: Heat up the pot, add oil, after the oil is hot, pour the cut lettuce shreds directly into the pot and stir-fry for a few times, then quickly add 1 small spoon of oyster sauce, 1 small spoon of edible salt, add a little water, and continue to stir-fry for about 1 minute before taking it out of the pot.

Food Tips

1. Spring lettuce is generally quite tender, and it should not be stir-fried for too long. Usually, it takes 3 minutes from putting it in the pot to taking it out. If it's cooked for too long, it will not be crispy.

2. For those who are losing weight, when making this dish, you can use less oil and less salt. No matter how you stir-fry it, it will be very delicious. Or, add a few shrimp when stir-frying, which will be even better.

Now it's April, and lettuce is widely available. As a seasonal spring vegetable, I suggest that friends should buy a lot of it to eat. Lettuce contains vitamin C and beta-carotene, which can effectively delay aging. Rich dietary fiber can also help hypertensive people eliminate excess cholesterol in the body. The nutritional value is so high, and eating more is beneficial to health.
