Tips

culture
A classic Cantonese side: tender stems briefly blanched in salted water with a splash of oil, then dressed with hot oil, scallion, ginger and a drizzle of light soy sauce or oyster sauce. 白灼 (blanching in plain water) is a defining 粤菜 technique prized for letting the vegetable's natural flavor come through.
