The first time I heard of cooking lettuce I found it strange because in my culture we always eat them raw, but trust me anyone who's wondering, it's delicious :)
Just like how we eat raw cabbage in cole slaw. Vegetables can go either way, cooked or uncooked. There may be some exceptions though I'm not 100 percent sure.
Looks delicious if you like slimy food mix it with ocra for a gelatinous experience ❤
this is a super common cantonese dish that i make all the time! the exception being, i don't parboil the lettuce, just stirfry. this also works really well with romaine!
I used to Stir fry Iceberg lettuce...and switched to Romaine Lettuce in the last couple of years. I like it Hoisin Sauce over it. 😋
My Cantonese speaking mother-in-law introduced me to the idea of cooking lettuce when I was a newlywed and I remember thinking it was bizarre. 🤣
The Cantonese dish actually uses a whole lot of thinly sliced *shallots,* not garlic or ginger. The sauce includes the fried shallots and its oil with oyster sauce fried in the oil to bring out the wok hey flavor then throw in the boiled lettuce and top with a few dashes of soy sauce.

Romaine lettuce is much better for people and animals than iceberg.
As college freshman in 1964, my new Filipino friends taught me ABOUT cooking lettuce. Been doing it ever since. Good in ramen, little onion, tomato or whatever youve got. Just slam the lettuce core first down on the counter and it's comes right out;;
Thank you,I'm almost 65 and never seen anyone cook iceberg lettuce before.
Close to your age...when I was young, my aunt sautéed and seasoned iceberg and called it "wilted lettuce". Tasted WAY better than raw iceberg.
@@TriciaR419,My Grandmother would make duck blood soup,I wasn't eating it.

Love the sound of the roosters in the background
If you bang the lettuce core down on the cutting board you can pull it right out in one chunk , easy peasy 😊
Whenever I see cooked lettuce I think of Gordon Ramsay freaking over grilled romaine
I love this style of cooking
Love your Recipe 💞 thank you nice video 💕🦊💞😇💞🐻😇
Gonna try this- thanks
Looks so yummy. I love iceberg both raw and cooked. Surprisingly versatile and underrated vegetable.
I love the crunch in ice berg and it’s freshness when cooked!
Thank u for this hack, I've been trying to convince people for years that you can put heat on iceberg lettuce
What are the ingredients? There is nothing listed and it goes to fast to ses?
One of my favorite ways to eat iceberg lettuce
Would this work with cabbage as well?
Definitely. When I was watching this, I realised I make almost the exact same thing but with cabbage.
Cabbage has a lot of valuable food value and ice berg lettuce has none. Go for the cabbage.
That looks Flippin Amazing! I want to try that with cabbage or any kind of leafy green veggies. Thanks so much for the amazing recipe.
@@Isabella66Gracen I want to believe it's lettuce, I just can't, lol. Seems like cabbage is full of vitimins and lettuce has nothing, so why bother.
Welp, I can't knock it until I've tried it🙂
I just stir fry the lettuce :) I do it all the time .. Its delicious and refreshing
What are the ingredients apart from iceberg lettuce please?
Yep..making tomorrow 🥰🥰🥰😋😋😋
You can remove the core easier by hitting it on a counter, then pull it out.
My husband does something similar with romaine and ramen 😋
A good balance of mild and spicy recipes.... everyone can't do spicy...thanks...
All I really wanted was the sauce..
I wonder what it will taste like with spinach or kale.
Wow, this is different 😳
I will try it one day.
What kind of sauce did you put in with the garlic?
Instead of cutting around the core of the lattice head, turn it over and smash it down on the countertop and then you can easily pull the core out. You’re not like smashing it but a good hard firm shove down on the countertop will pop that core right out
It's almost like Killed Lettuce...except you don't cook the lettuce. Chop it, add chopped onion,salt,pepper .mix well. Fry fatback ,remove meat and put aside...pour hot grease over mixture and toss. Add vinegar to your taste.🥗
Made similar to this and it's really good.
In Thomas Jefferson’s day, they boiled lettuce all the time.
Have recipe for BLT soup but restresaunt size, so havent tried it. Must have been popular as sold at a kitchen in a store. Popular in 20's- 60's.
Tried it just now .. delicious and super quick and easy.👌
Thankyou for share your receipe. Regard from Indonesian in Germany
Looks like it would be delicious done subbed with cabbage 🥬🥬🥬 too. Being a Slav, I'm a sucker for 🥬 cabbage 🥬. But I'm game to try this too. Thanks so very much for sharing ☺️💕
Now if only I lived on the countryside. Love the sound of that rooster!
Army cook taught me to lay a piece on hot grill then crack egg on top so don't overcook egg. Fried iceburg or sacrificed iceburg leaf.
That sounds really good. I will try that really soon. Thanks for the tip.
Deep fried some garlic chips and sprinkle on top - that’s what I grew up eating!!😊
Yes I done this before but great news you don't have to boil it just put it as stir fry in the sauce it will cook up real QUICK...without all that WATER latching onto the lettuce and less work
Yeah... i could eat this all week...
Looks good & simple. Suggestion, instead of cutting stamp smack it hard against the cutting board. This will remove it easier & faster
Oh I bet this is delicious 😋 😍
What's that sauce
I trust this may be good. However, I have to have cold crunchy lettuce. Anything else may as well be cabbage or BokChoy.
recipe in the description
That Shun is beautiful!!
One of the only things I remember from my middle school home economics class was how to neatly smash open lettuce heads lol
Looks & sounds delicious
Omg! That looks so yummy😁
@@conniedetevis2119 whenever i use (Omg) it is meant as, "oh my gosh" I never use our Heavenly Fathers name in vain.
Looks delicious!!!
Reminded me of wilted lettuce as a child. Very similar
Don't know about boiling them but when I ordered some yang chow fried rice, they actually fried it with some iceberg lettuce and I love it
Reminds me of boiled cabbage! I will have to try this as soon as I get a head of lettuce ☺️ thank you for sharing! ✌🏻
Never cook them this way before! I stir fry them with garlic, bacon, and oyster sauce. And it’s one of my fav stir fry veggies!🥰
I think I'm gone try this but I don't do ice burg lettuces. I'm make it with cabbage. 💯
We just had this yesterday
Looks amazing
WOW that looks DELISH, gna have to try me some.
I love cooked iceberg lettuce it tastes nutty! Yum yum!
Going to try this. Thank you
Looks very delicious. Following the channel for more amazing videos.
Look delicious have to try
Healthy
I add it to my MaMa noodles
So nice n refreshing
Delicious!
DIY. Simply bang the lettuce core side down on cutting board. The core will come right out without cutting it.
Looks good!
Lettuce is already almost completely water
Now there even more water
actually not, boiling it, actually removes the excess water in the "product" you can do this with Tofu prior to frying, works well!
If that taste ANYTHING like BOK CHOI...I'M IN! 😅👍🏾😋
What kin of sauce is that please.
I really miss your vlogs...
This seems like a great way to eat more greens and also to reduce food waste if you got some leftover lettuce. Definitely gonna try this! As weird as boiling lettuce seems, it still looks tasty :)
Yo! My mom used to cook her leftover salad greens just like this! Respect!
Everyone says it's a great dish though wish to know the sauce ingredients...
I’m going to try this.
I grill Romaine lettuce brushed with OO and it’s delicious!!
I bet that would be good over cabbage.
Look really good &would like to try&prepare but really frustrated that there are not any audio recepe ingredient instructions 😕
Helpful tip. Take the lettuce and hold the stem side down and bang it down on the counter, stem comes off no cutting involved.
I’m American… we don’t cook lettuce 🥬 but I’m open minded and willing to try this.
I'm also going to try the sauce over green cabbage, maybe it will taste nice too.
What was the sauce? Loved so yummy
Looks good
I want to try this
Looks good. I would like to try some.
Cabbage yes. Iceberg lettuce I think not...lol
Simple but yummmmyyyyy💘💘💘
Side note: grilled romaine is killer
Yummy
Looks so good
For me, lettuce is more delicious without boiling it.
This is delicious, i can confirm
Simple and yummy
No boiled lettuce for me but I’m thinking this may be good with cabbage because of the texture.
Excelente..😂😂😂😂 gracias 🫂
Lettuce to remove center -- place center down ward towards counter. Hit the lettuce head. On the center. It will break apart . Place your thumb into cavity of lettucehead n separate.
Note! Using a knife to cut lettuce will cause lettuce to rust faster.
You can also bang the head of lettuce down on a hard surface and the core should pop out as well
Boiled iceberg? 🤔 That's what I thought at first until I tasted them!
Iceberg Lettuce with Galric Sauce
1 head of iceberg, remove the core, cut into 6 wedges
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp chopped ginger
2 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
1/4 cup veggie broth
Sesame seeds
Sesame oil
Minus the sesame seeds for me but DEF trying this yummy. Now how long do your boil the lettuce please and thank you 🥰
My mom used to make a similar dish but she used romaine
And now you know that you'll don't do it again 😅
Sooooo going to cook this for my family of 10. It's cheap and I always have garlic, oyster sauce and sesame seeds.
Thanks for sharing.😋❤
Yes delicious
