Ingredients
- 3 romaine hearts
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce or sesame oil optional
Instructions
- Wash and separate the romaine leaves, tear them in half so that the stems are about 3 inches long. Set aside to drain in a colander until ready to cook.
- Preheat a large skillet or pot on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the oil, swirl to coat, sprinkle the salt, and add the romaine leaves.
- Spread the stir-fried romaine leaves and allow them to sear and cook down slightly, stir fry until half of the romaine looks translucent (1-2 minutes).
- Drizzle approximately 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce or sesame oil, if using, and continue to stir-fry. The romaine is ready when most of the romaine looks translucent.
