Lettuce is a spring marketed vegetable that mainly consumes the stems, unlike oleander, which, mainly consumes the leafy parts. Here specifically pulled to say lettuce and oil wheat cabbage, because just look at the leaves, it is easy to confuse the two things. Both belong to the same genus of lettuce, and are considered close relatives. Fresh and tender lettuce leaves can be eaten in hot pots, blanched and mixed with cold water, steamed with edamame, fried in garlic oil, and so on, just like oatmeal.

Here's how to eat the stem of lettuce. Fresh lettuce peeled, then pick off the white membrane, cut thick slices, can be used to play hot pot to eat, like to eat crisp texture, less hot, like to eat soft texture, more hot, lettuce is not very absorb the salt flavor, that is, hot to the end of the meal, the flavor is not too heavy.

Thick slices of lettuce, used to steam with bacon, is also a good dish, practice is to take a plate, the bottom of a layer of lettuce, lay a layer of bacon slices, preferably with the skin with skinny even the kind of skin, followed by a layer of lettuce, lettuce, and then a layer of bacon slices, so that the laying to the three or four times on the almost, on the pot steamed, out of the pot dripping a little bit of sesame oil on the line, fragrant, not good. Salt in the bacon with the fat into the lettuce slices, not so salty, the aroma can be released out of some more, and itself is very light lettuce absorbed the salt of the bacon, but also become salty and fragrant, two with, not only the color match, and delicious.

If you cut thin slices, you can use them to stir-fry, dry chili peppers with onion, ginger and garlic, then put the thin slices of romaine lettuce to stir-fry evenly, and add salt to taste. If you think it's too light, you can add some dried shrimp or lard residue to it, and it will instantly become another dish, and it's never a string of meat that you can put in a nutshell.

Lettuce diced, fried chicken is particularly suitable, many versions of the Kung Pao chicken ding, it is necessary to put lettuce ding. Chicken diced chicken breast part of the selection, dry chili pepper chili pot, oil slightly give more, put the chicken diced slippery, and then into the blanched lettuce diced, mixing and stir-frying, add ingredients, you can tune out the sesame or soy sauce flavor to. Personally, I prefer to stir-fry, only salt. The first thing that you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it.

Cutting lettuce into cubes and cooking it with crispy meat is one of my favorite soup dishes. Just put a pot of boiling water or directly with the soup boil up, into the lettuce pieces, almost cooked, and then put the crispy meat, and then put the salt seasoning, and then sprinkle the pot with chopped green onions can be, no difficulty. Slightly more difficult is the fried pork: cut the meat into strips, wrapped in egg batter (preferably mixed grain noodles), and then fried in a frying pan to set the shape of both. Although it doesn't seem too difficult to describe, it takes some experience to actually do it. Anyway, if you have the chance to eat, this soup dish is really not to be missed.
