Recipe
Cooking tips
- Adding oil and salt to the boiling water raises the temperature, allowing the watercress to blanch faster and retain a vibrant green color.
- Always use the highest heat when stir-frying vegetables to ensure moisture evaporates and the dish doesn’t become soggy, helping the seasonings adhere better.
- For added richness, you can optionally stir-fry thin slices of meat or salty ham along with the vegetables.
Recommended for
- Those looking for a different take on regular watercress salad.
- Fans of crunchy, savory stir-fried vegetables similar to Southeast Asian heart-of-palm stir-fries.
- People wanting to achieve an elegant Chinese-style flavor with minimal ingredients and simple seasonings.
