Choi Sum with Shallot meat sauce


Here's a plate of vege that we quite like to eat. All you need is some sliced shallot and meat ( I used chicken breast).

Ingredients ( for 2 -3 persons)
1 bunch of Choi sum (mustard green)
1-2 shallot (sliced)
500g ~ 800g chicken meat / pork
2 T oyster sauce for marinate


sauce
1 T oyster sauce
1/2 t dark soya
1 t sugar
1 cup water

1 T corn flour
2T water

a. Clean the vege and cut into small sizes.

b. Mince the meat and marinate with 2 T oyster sauce for half an hour. Mix all the sauce and put aside. Mix the cornflour + water and put aside.

c. Heat up pot of water, drop 1 T of oil , few cloves of garlic and sprinkle some salt ( not necessary). Blanch the vege until cooked, but not too soft. * Add in garlic will somehow keep away the green smell.* U can drop in some slice ginger too, but I dont like the smell. Take out the vege and drain the excess water off.

d. In a pan, heat up 1 T of oil, fry the shallot until soften, put the meat and stir fry a bit. Add in the sauce and simmer a bit until the water almost dried up. Now thicken the sauce with cornflour water.
