Stir-fry lettuce is a quick and flavorful dish commonly found in Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese cooking. This dish transforms crisp, leafy green lettuce—most often romaine or iceberg—into a tender yet slightly crunchy side, enhanced by garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and other seasonings. While lettuce is typically consumed raw in salads, stir-frying adds depth and warmth while preserving its rich nutrient profile. Lettuce is low in calories and high in water content, making it a hydrating and weight-friendly option. It also provides vitamins such as A and K, along with small amounts of fiber and antioxidants. Minimal oil and balanced seasoning keep this dish light, making it a nutritious choice, though excessive use of salty sauces can increase sodium levels. Stir-fry lettuce is an excellent way to bring variety and a burst of flavor to everyday greens while keeping meals healthy and vibrant.
