Description
This simple recipe is perfect for making quick, flavorful, and crunchy vegetables. It relies on a few key ingredients and a hot pan to deliver a satisfying side dish in minutes.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Boil the vegetable
Start by adding 300 ml of water to a pot and bringing it to a full, rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the prepared vegetables. Let them boil for a few minutes until they are about 80% cooked. This means they'll be tender-crisp, still vibrant in color, and not fully soft. This technique ensures they hold their texture and nutritional value before you add them to your final dish.
-
Stir fry
Once you're ready to finish the dish, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and quickly stir-fry for just a few seconds until it becomes fragrant. Immediately add the boiled vegetables, then pour in 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of MSG (if using), and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Toss everything together quickly and confidently to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce. The entire process should take less than a minute. Serve the vegetables immediately while they are still hot and perfectly crisp.

Note
- Prep the vegetables: Begin by boiling your vegetables in water until they are about 80% cooked. This parboiling step ensures they are tender but still have a firm, crunchy texture for the final stir-fry.
- Fry the garlic: Heat your oil and quickly fry the minced garlic until it is fragrant. This process should be very fast to avoid burning the garlic, which would give it a bitter taste.
- Add everything quickly: Once the garlic is ready, immediately add the parboiled vegetables and the sauces (oyster sauce, MSG, and sesame oil).
- Toss and serve: The entire final stir-fry step should be done very quickly over high heat. Toss everything together vigorously to coat the vegetables evenly. Serve the dish immediately while the vegetables are still crisp and hot.
