Stir Fried Morning Glory
Quick stir fried morning glory with garlic, chilli, and an umami-packed sauce. Ready in 10 minutes with that authentic takeaway taste, minus the fish sauce.
Ingredients
- 200 grams morning glory (200g = about one bunch)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 bird's eye chillies
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- ½ tablespoon light soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon mushroom stir-fry sauce (otherwise known as vegetarian oyster sauce)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Begin by thoroughly washing 200 grams morning glory. Drain excess water, but don't worry about the greens being completely dry.
- Cut one centimetre off the ends of the stalks, which are often dirty.
- Next, separate the stalks from the leaves. Keep the leaves whole, but cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces.
- Add 3 cloves garlic and 2 bird's eye chillies to a small mortar and pestle. Pound into rough pieces; no need to make a paste.
- Heat a large wok over high heat. Once the wok is smoking, add 1 tablespoon neutral oil.
- Next, add the pounded garlic and chillies to the oil. Sauté for a few seconds, until aromatic.
- Add the morning glory to the wok along with ½ tablespoon light soy sauce, ½ tablespoon mushroom stir-fry sauce, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Toss and stir to mix the seasonings into the greens.
- Stir-fry the morning glory for 1 minute. The greens should wilt, but retain their green colour and crunchy texture. Serve immediately.
Notes
Because light soy sauce is naturally salty, I didn't add additional salt. However, feel free to taste-test and adjust the seasoning to your preferences.
