Ingredients

  • 1 pound choy sum also called yu choy or you cai
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

Instructions

  • Wash and clean the choy sum well. We like to wash it a few times and also soak it in water (if you have time). Then drain in a colander and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in the oil.
  • Add the choy sum to the water and blanch for about 30-45 seconds.
  • Use tongs to remove the choy sum from the water and arrange them on a plate. Drain any excess water from the plate.
  • Drizzle the oyster sauce over the choy sum. Eat and enjoy!
