🌴食材 | Ingredients：

🌴配料 | Aromatics：

干红辣椒，2个（剪段，可选）。/ Dried red chilies, 2 (cut into segments, optional).
🌴调味 | Seasonings：
生抽，1勺（约10ml）。/ Light soy sauce, 1 tbsp (about 10ml).
蚝油，1勺（约10ml）。/ Oyster sauce, 1 tbsp (about 10ml).

食用油，适量。/ Cooking oil, as needed.
🌴做法 | Instructions：
1，处理青菜 | Prepare the Greens
青菜洗净，沥干水分，切成大段。梗和叶分开放。⚠️ 一定要把水分沥干，不然下锅会溅油，而且炒出来水汪汪的。我试过没沥干，结果青菜变成了“水煮青菜”。
Wash the greens and drain thoroughly. Cut them into large segments, separating the stems and leaves. ⚠️ Make sure to drain them well, or the oil will splatter and the dish will turn watery. I’ve tried it without draining, and the greens turned out soggy.
2，爆香蒜末 | Sauté the Garlic
热锅倒油，油热后放入蒜末、姜末和干红辣椒，小火炒出香味。⚠️ 蒜末千万别炒糊了，糊了会发苦。
Heat oil in a pan, add the minced garlic, ginger, and dried chilies. Stir-fry over low heat until fragrant. ⚠️ Don’t burn the garlic, or it will turn bitter.
3，大火快炒 | Stir-fry over High Heat
转大火，先放入青菜梗，快速翻炒30秒。再放入青菜叶，继续大火翻炒1分钟，直到青菜变软、颜色翠绿。⚠️ 全程大火快炒，青菜才脆爽不出水。我试过小火慢炒，结果青菜又黄又软。
Turn to high heat, add the stems first, and stir-fry quickly for 30 seconds. Add the leaves and continue stir-frying over high heat for 1 minute until softened and vibrant green. ⚠️ Stir-fry over high heat the entire time to keep the greens crisp. I’ve tried low heat, and they turned yellow and mushy.
4，调味出锅 | Season and Serve
加入1勺生抽、1勺蚝油和少许白糖，快速翻炒均匀。最后加盐调味，立刻出锅。⚠️ 盐一定要最后放，过早放盐会让青菜出水。我试过早放盐，结果炒出了一盘菜汤。
Add the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a pinch of sugar. Stir-fry quickly to combine. Season with salt at the very end, and serve immediately. ⚠️ Always add salt at the end; adding it early will draw out water. I’ve tried it, and it turned into a soupy mess.
宝宝们，蒜蓉炒青菜的精髓在于“大火快炒，出锅前放盐”。青菜一定要沥干水分，梗和叶分开炒。全程大火，青菜才脆爽不出水。盐最后放，防止青菜出水。蒜末是灵魂，千万别省。
Tips: The key to Garlic Stir-fried Greens is “high heat, quick stir-fry, and salt at the end.” Drain the greens thoroughly and separate the stems from the leaves. Stir-fry over high heat the entire time for a crisp texture. Add salt at the very end to prevent water from releasing. Don’t skip the garlic.
