蚝油生菜，是一道最简单快手的家常素菜。生菜烫得翠绿脆爽，淋上鲜甜的蚝油酱汁，一口下去，清爽解腻。做法虽然简单，但味道却极其惊艳，特别适合搭配油腻的硬菜。
Lettuce with Oyster Sauce is a simple and quick home-style vegetable dish. The lettuce is blanched until vibrant and crisp, then drizzled with a sweet and savory oyster sauce. It’s refreshing and pairs perfectly with rich, heavy dishes.
🌴食材 | Ingredients：
生菜，1颗（洗净，掰成大片）。/ Lettuce, 1 head (washed, torn into large pieces).
🌴配料 | Aromatics：
蒜末，4~5瓣（切碎）。/ Minced garlic, 4-5 cloves.
姜末，少许（可选）。/ Minced ginger, a little (optional).
🌴调味 | Seasonings：
蚝油，2勺（约30ml，灵魂）。/ Oyster sauce, 2 tbsp (about 30ml, the soul).
生抽，1勺（约10ml）。/ Light soy sauce, 1 tbsp (about 10ml).
白糖，1小勺（约5g，提鲜）。/ Sugar, 1 tsp (about 5g, to enhance flavor).
淀粉，1小勺（约5g，加水调成水淀粉）。/ Cornstarch, 1 tsp (about 5g, mixed with water).
食用油，适量。/ Cooking oil, as needed.
🌴做法 | Instructions：
1，焯生菜 | Blanch the Lettuce
锅里烧水，水开后加少许盐和几滴油，放入生菜焯水30秒，捞出沥干，摆入盘中。⚠️ 千万别焯太久，生菜变软就不好吃了。我试过焯了1分钟，结果生菜全烂了，一点口感都没有。
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and a few drops of oil, blanch the lettuce for 30 seconds, then drain and arrange on a plate. ⚠️ Never blanch for too long, or the lettuce will become mushy. I’ve tried blanching for a minute, and it lost all its texture.
2，调蚝油汁 | Make the Sauce
取一个小碗，放入2勺蚝油、1勺生抽、1小勺白糖和少许清水，搅拌均匀。⚠️ 蚝油本身有咸味，千万别再加盐了。
In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and a little water. ⚠️ Oyster sauce is already salty, so never add extra salt.
3，炒蒜末 | Sauté the Garlic
锅里倒少许油，放入蒜末和姜末，小火炒出香味。⚠️ 蒜末千万别炒糊了，糊了会发苦。
Heat a little oil in a pan, add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant. ⚠️ Don’t burn the garlic, or it will turn bitter.
4，淋汁出锅 | Pour and Serve
倒入调好的蚝油汁，中火煮开。淋入水淀粉勾芡，煮到汤汁浓稠。把煮好的蚝油汁均匀地淋在生菜上，趁热吃。⚠️ 蚝油汁最后淋，生菜才保持脆爽。
Pour in the sauce and bring to a boil over medium heat. Thicken with cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce is glossy. Drizzle the sauce evenly over the lettuce and serve hot. ⚠️ Pour the sauce at the very end to keep the lettuce crisp.
宝宝们，蚝油生菜的精髓在于“生菜翠绿，蚝油鲜甜”。生菜焯水30秒就够了，捞出沥干。蚝油本身有咸味，千万别加盐。最后淋汁前勾个薄芡，汤汁才浓稠挂菜。
Tips: The key to Lettuce with Oyster Sauce is “vibrant lettuce, sweet and savory oyster sauce.” Blanch the lettuce for just 30 seconds and drain well. Never add extra salt since the oyster sauce is already salty. Thicken the sauce slightly before drizzling for a glossy finish.
