Ingredients:

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce (1 1/2 lb.)
  • 1 1/2 tsp regular soy sauce
  • 1 tsp shao xing rice wine or dry sherry
  • 3/4 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp salad oil

Directions:

  1. Rinse and drain lettuce thoroughly. Cut out and discard core. Separate leaves and tear into 3- by 5-inch pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, wine, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  3. Set a 14-inch wok or 12-inch frying pan over high heat. When hot, add oil and garlic; stir-fry until garlic just begins to brown, about 30 seconds. Add lettuce and stir just until slightly limp but still bright green and somewhat crisp, about 2 minutes (if all the lettuce doesn't fit, add half, stir until slightly wilted-about 30 seconds-then stir in the remaining leaves). Stir in soy sauce mixture. Pour onto a platter and serve immediately.
