Steps
Step 1: Preparing Your Mise en Place
- 12 oz yau choi
- 2 tsp mushroom flavored oyster sauce
- 1 tsp Fish-Less Fish sauce
- 2 tsp garlic
Method
Trim the ends off of the yau choi. Wash and spin dry. If the stems are thicker than 1/2" inch, slice the stems in half lengthwise to promote even cooking. Alternatively, the yau choi can be cut up into smaller or bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Mince the garlic. Mix the ‘oyster sauce’ and fish-less fish sauce together and set aside.
Step 2: Stir-Frying the Dish
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
Method
To stir-fry the dish, line the ingredients up in the proper cooking order. Heat a wok over high heat.
Once hot, add the oil followed by the garlic. Stir-fry for a few seconds or just until fragrant. Add the yau choi and toss to coat with the oil and garlic. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the leaves soften slightly. Add the oyster sauce mixture and stir-fry for another 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the vegetable is crisp yet tender. Serve immediately.

Hi Julie: If you are unable to locate fishless fish sauce, this Rouxbe recipe is a sure winner: https://rouxbe.com/recipes/4862-fish-less-fish-sauce I make this fish sauce for making kimchi. As for the greens, your suggestions sound delicious. Bok choi would be the best choice. Hope this helps. Cheers, Char -
