• 2  tablespoons  peanut oil
• 1 1⁄2 inches  cube gingerroot, peeled and sliced thinly and then shredded

2. Add oil and heat until it shimmers and is about to start smoking.
3. Add ginger and garlic, stir fry until very fragrant, about forty seconds.
4. Add choy sum all at once, and stir fry very vigorously; water will escape from the greens immediately.
