Stirfry La-la with Black Bean Sauce


Ingredients:

  • 500g fresh La-la
  • 2 stalks spring onion (cut into 1 inch sections, separate white parts from green)
  • 1 big stalk of coriander (remove roots and cut into 1 inch sections)
  • 1 big chili/ 2 chili padi (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 4 slices of ginger (julienned) 
  • 1 tbsp of oil 

Seasonings:

  • 2 tsp LKK garlic black bean sauce
  • 1 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • A dash of Chinese cooking wine
  • 1 cup of water

Method:

  1. Rinse and soak la-la in ice water and salt and chill on fridge for an hour. Remove and rinse away the sand several times. Repeat process if there are still lots of sand from la-la. Soak in clean water again and chill for 30mins or till you're ready to cook. 
  2. Heat wok with oil. Sautéed ginger for a minute. Add white part of spring onion and minced ginger. Sautéed till fragrant. Add la-la and stir well. 
  3. Add all the seasonings except for cooking wine. Toss and mix well. Cover with lid and let la-la open up. Add sliced chili/ chili padi, half the coriander and green part of spring onion. Mix well and taste. Adjust taste accordingly if need be. Add a dash of cooking wine at the side of the wok. And thicken with some corn flour water if you like the sauce to be slightly thick (*optional).  Garnish with rest of the coriander and serve hot 😊 

Note:
You can add sliced chili padi together with the seasonings if you prefer the dish to be more spicy 🌶.
