Taiwanese oyster sauce lettuce

Overview

I ate a piece of oyster sauce lettuce in a small shop in Taipei before, and I particularly remember it. It was tender and crispy. Different from the salty oyster sauce lettuce in the past, this one is a little sweeter, and it has small red peppers. It tastes great! And it’s super easy to prepare meals quickly~

Steps

  1. Peel and wash a head of lettuce and set aside. Wash the green onions, garlic cloves, and two small red peppers and cut them into small pieces.

  3. Put the lettuce in boiling water for 3 seconds to uncook it, take it out quickly, and cool it down with cold water to maintain a crispy texture. Set aside. (This kind of lettuce is very tender and will easily turn yellow and soft if blanched for a long time.)
