Choy Sum with Garlic Sauce

April 9, 2018 by Holly 5 Comments

Choy Sum with Garlic Sauce

Choy sum always reminds me of Hong Kong, SIngapore, and Malaysia where I used to live many years ago. I used to eat this wonderful Chinese vegetable all the time. I am so glad that I found Choy Sum at the Asian grocery store in my neighborhood.

The best way my family like to eat Choy Sum is with garlic sauce. Once your green is blanched to tender, the sauce only takes less than 2-3 minutes. Simple yet delicious, you can enjoy this nutrition packed green vegetable in the best way you can taste.

You will need to blanch the greens in the salted water for about 2 minutes. Blanch with the stem side first, then immerse the leafy part of green. That way you will have evenly blanched Choy Sum to enjoy.

 I like to cut them in half when they are too long. This makes it easier to serve.

The garlicky fragrant sauce is irresistible and I can’t help keep adding the greens into my mouth. Now that is very good thing.

Choy Sum can go with any Asian dish. I made Char Siu, the Chinese BBQ pork to go with. I can assure that this ultimate Chinese (Cantonese) dinner was deeply appreciated by my family. Delicious~!!!

    I don't think I've ever had Coy Sum. I live close to a good Asian market, so I should look for it. Love garlic sauce, so this dish is for me!

    The perfect dish for me! I'm now on a diet, but I so want to treat myself to goodies ... With your recipes, I can taste delicious and do not get fat :) I have only one question: can the garlic sauce be replaced with some other sauce? I'm not a fan of the smell of garlic :)
