Green Vegetables

Preparation

Chop off the root then wash each stem, looking out for specks of soil that can hide around the base. Slice into stir-fry-friendly 3-inch pieces.
 

Cooking Ideas

• Stir-fry, steam or blanch.
• Introduce it to minced garlic that’s been sizzled in hot oil.
• Swiftly stir-fry beef strips before adding your bok choi.
• Drop in a tablespoon of Oyster Sauce right at the end of stir-frying for a rich taste.
• Top bok choi dishes with mushrooms, stir-fried or braised in Oyster Sauce.

Preparation

Turn on the cold-water tap and give them a wash. If there’s time, top and tail each shoot for a neat look and feel. If you can’t wait, just use them as nature intended.
 

Cooking Ideas

• Blanch in boiling water then drop straight into icy water for the ultimate crunch.
• Slice your favorite meat and stir-fry together.
• Drizzle Lee Kum Kee Oriental Sesame Dressing over just-cooked crunchy bean sprouts for a wonderful warm salad.
• Mix with stir-fried wheat, egg or rice noodles

Preparation

Strip away the outer leaves – they’re a bit tough. So are the stalks, so peel them too.
 

Cooking Ideas

• Best blanched in a salted boiling water or flavor-filled stock
• Stir-fry with minced garlic for a sharp hit of flavor or stir in a bit of ginger juice
• Drizzle with Double Deluxe Soy Sauce or Premium Oyster Sauce and Pure Sesame Oil before serving

Preparation

Less is more with broccoli. Cut a “big tree” into lots of little florets and drop them into salted boiling water. Get them to the half-cooked stage, so they’re ready for whichever dish you choose. Keep the stems and thinly slice them – you can often use them too.
 

Cooking Ideas

• Crushed garlic is the perfect sauté partner
• Take things one step further and stir-fry the florets or stems with beef strips or slices marinated in Premium Oyster Sauce

Preparation

Peel, rinse, and chop. Roughly 2 x 1-inch slices or wedges are the best. 
 

Cooking Ideas

• Start with a swift sauté with minced garlic, then pour in some water and braise with marinated spare ribs
• Stop before you chop and shred the melon into thin strips instead. That’s the ideal shape to cook with glass noodles (mung bean rice noodles) and dried shrimps.

Preparation

It’s easy – just trim off the wood ends and rinse under water.
 

Cooking Ideas

• For a vegetarian-friendly dish, stir-fry with minced garlic and add Oyster Sauce
• Or go for the classic Chinese dish of stir-fried beef and asparagus
• Take your stir-fry up a level with XO sauce by sprinkling it on top or mixing into your stir-fry.
