A formal Chinese feast must have a vegetable dish, which usually is served as the last dish in Cantonese cuisine. That is a polite way to indicate to guests that all the food has been brought to the table.

Prep Time

5 minutes

Cook Time

10 minutes

Ingredients

400g / 14 oz of chow sum
2-3 tbsp of light soy sauce
2-3 tbsp of minced garlic
2-3 tbsp of oil

Directions

Depending on the size, cut the choy sum stems in half or quarters but cut them off partially.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and a drizzle of oil, which will keep the vegetables to stay green.
Let the choy sum stems touch the water for 30 seconds because they are thicker. Then, drop in the choy sum leaves and blanch for another 20 seconds.
Remove the choy sum from the water and place it on a serving plate. Sprinkle some minced garlic on top.
Heat a few tbsp of oil to smoking hot, pour it over the garlic to activate the aroma, and drizzle the soy sauce to taste.
