Choose choy sum with fresh green leaves and plump, unwilted stems · Good-quality oyster sauce is rounder and more fragrant · Fresh garlic fries up aromatic.

Chef's secret

Chef's secret: stir-fry very hot and fast, stems before leaves, so everything cooks at once and stays green and crisp, not yellow and soft · add just a splash of water enough to wilt the greens, not drown them.
