Beyond Salads: Discover the Delicious World of Stir-Fried Lettuce and Combat Food Waste

Beyond Salads: Discover the Delicious World of Stir-Fried Lettuce and Combat Food Waste A recent online video by content creator It’s Liz Miu is drawing attention to an often-overlooked culinary practice: stir-frying lettuce. The video, which has garnered over 500,000 views, showcases a simple yet flavorful Chinese method for preparing iceberg lettuce, encouraging viewers to reduce food waste by utilizing more of this commonly discarded vegetable. In the instructional video, It’s Liz Miu demonstrates how to transform a humble head of lettuce into a delicious side dish. The process begins with roughly chopping and washing the lettuce, followed by preparing a quick sauce consisting of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. The cooking involves stir-frying minced garlic and sliced ginger until fragrant, then adding the chopped lettuce and the prepared sauce. The lettuce is cooked briefly, ensuring it retains a slight crunch, a texture preferred in this traditional preparation. The creator emphasizes that cooked lettuce is a very common method in Chinese cuisine, despite seeming unusual to some. The finished dish, garnished with sesame seeds and fried shallots, is presented as an ideal accompaniment to freshly steamed rice. This innovative approach not only offers a new way to enjoy a familiar vegetable but also provides a practical solution for minimizing food waste in the kitchen.
