Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Wash the Chinese leaf and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, grate the carrot, and chop the spring onions into small pieces, separating the green and white parts.

  2. 2

    Prepare Aromatics

    Mince the garlic and grate the ginger to prepare for stir-frying.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large wok or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Stir-fry Aromatics

    Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped Chinese leaf, red bell pepper, and grated carrot to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

  4. 6

    Season the Stir-fry

    Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkle with chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  5. 7

    Finish with Spring Onions

    Add the white parts of the spring onions and stir for another minute. Turn off the heat and garnish with the green parts of the spring onions.
