SAUTEED ROMAINE WITH OYSTER SAUCE
Esthur our Chinese Exchange student introduced us to this unique way of preparing romaine lettuce. I had never thought of cooking it before. Great when you have lettuce that needs to be eaten and you don't have any other fresh vegetables on hand.

Steps:
- 1. Chop the romaine lettuce into 2-inch pieces. Wash and drain in a colander. (I personally like it served in whole leaves). In a pan on medium-high heat, add about 2 tsp oyster sauce.
- 2. Add the lettuce. Stir to make sure it's evenly coated in oyster sauce.
- 3. In minutes, the lettuce will wilt. That's it! Plate and serve with rice or fish.
