Crunchy Romaine Lettuce


Romaine lettuce is one of my favorite veges. I like it because it is crunchy, light and healthy. It has multiple uses i.e. can be served with rice, as a salad or as accompaniment to your favorite sandwich.

Most of all, it is so easy to prepare.

Oyster Sauce Romaine Lettuce
Ingredients
1 bunch of freshly plucked Romaine. Wash clean.
2 tablespoon of olive oil.
1 medium red onion. Cut into thin slices.
Half a teaspoon of oyster sauce.
1 teaspoon of soya sauce.

Instructions
Heat oil in non-stick Teflon pan
Stir fry onion till brown and crispy. Pour into bowl.
Add the oyster sauce and soya sauce into the bowl and mix together with the crispy onion (or shallots). Set aside.

Separately, bring to boil 1 pot of water.
When boil, lightly pour the Romaine lettuce into the water and scoop up immediately onto a serving platter. This is done to kill the bacteria. Be wary that the lettuce will lose its health benefits if left in the boiling water for too long.

Drain away excess water from the platter. Pour in the crispy shallots mixture on top and serve.

Time to prepare: 5 mins.

Romaine lettuce is highly nutritious. It contains vitamin A, vitamin K, folate, vitamin C, manganese, chromium, potassium and fiber. With all these properties, it is widely known as a healthy heart food.
