Ingredients
- 200 grams jungle fern
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 whole red chili
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Start by rinsing the jungle fern thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Trim the hard stems and set aside the tender parts for cooking.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Slice the red chili thinly. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat.
Step 4
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the chopped garlic and sliced chili to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the garlic is golden brown and aromatic.
Step 6
Add the jungle fern to the skillet. Toss it quickly with the garlic and chili, making sure the fern is well coated with oil.
Step 7
Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 5-6 minutes until the fern is tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss everything one last time to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fried jungle fern to a serving dish.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish or with steamed rice as a main dish.
