Stir Fry Lettuce
Whole lettuce leaves are quickly stir-fried with crushed garlic, salt, pepper and chili flakes. A hot wok wilts the leaves while keeping the thicker ribs crisp, making a simple vegetable side dish.
Ingredients
- 5 cloves Garlic
- 2-3 Lettuce
- Salt and Pepper
- Chili Flakes
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) Oil
Instructions
- Wash and drain the lettuce leaves. Peel and crush the garlic cloves.
- Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then the crushed garlic, and stir briefly.
- Add the lettuce and season with salt, pepper and chili flakes. Stir-fry for about 1 minute over medium-high heat, tossing until the leaves wilt. Transfer to a plate and serve.

Notes
The video specifies a 1-minute stir-fry after the lettuce is added. Heating the wok and briefly cooking the garlic take additional time.
