“Lonely Friday nights
Deserve a treat,
So here is a recipe
Of greens and meat.
To stir the sentiments
Comfort in a meal,
Create the romance
For a perfect steal.
Beware, these leafy wonders
A warmth do impart,
For choy sum means
A vegetable heart.”
Ingredients
100 gm minced chicken (or pork)
1 packet (approx 250 gm) choy sum leaves, washed and cut
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 red chili, chopped
2 tablespoons white vinegar
4 tablespoons dark soy sauce
½ teaspoon oyster sauce
2 teaspoons fish oil
1 teaspoon chili oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
(For a veg version, replace Chicken with Paneer/Tofu and Fish oil with Sesame oil. Leave out the Oyster sauce).

Heat oil in a pan. Add the chilies, garlic and ginger and sauté for a few seconds on high heat. Stir in the minced chicken along with the salt, soy sauce, chili oil, fish sauce, oyster sauce and ½ the vinegar. Add some water, cover and let the chicken cook on medium flame till it turns white in color and tender. Add the choy sum leaves and the remaining vinegar and mix well. Cook for a few seconds on medium heat till the leaves start wilting. Do not overcook otherwise the crispiness will disappear. Stir continuously on high flame for a a few seconds. Remove from heat and serve immediately with Brown rice. A cup of chinese tea on the side completes this wholesome and dainty meal.
