Cantonese style blanched lettuce

Cantonese style blanched lettuce is very popular because it is simple to make but can highlight the delicious taste. The "blanching" method uses boiling water or soup to quickly cook the lettuce, which retains its fresh taste and sweet juice to the greatest extent. The key is seasoning. Soy sauce, oyster sauce and a little sugar are added to bring out the freshness, and then hot oil is poured to enhance the aroma. The salty and fresh sauce blends with the sweetness of the lettuce, with rich layers without being heavy. It has a refreshing taste, can balance greasy dishes, and let people taste the original flavor of vegetables.

Steamed Shrimp with Garlic Sauce

This dish, steamed shrimp with garlic paste, is made by simply seasoning the shrimp with salt and garlic paste, and then steaming it in a steamer with boiling water for about five minutes, which perfectly locks in the freshness and elasticity of the shrimp meat. When it is removed from the pot, it is drizzled with hot oil and soy sauce to make the garlic aroma burst, and the whole thing is refreshing and not greasy, with a fresh and fragrant aroma. This dish is quick and healthy, but you need to accurately control the steaming time and oil temperature to avoid the shrimp meat being tough or the garlic paste being burnt and bitter.
