Stir-fry Lettuce
This is a great side dish for Chinese New Year, as lettuce is considered to be a "lucky" food. The recipe calls for iceberg lettuce, but feel free to use Romaine lettuce if desired. This recipe has been reader-rated at 5 out of 5 stars. Bok Choy Appetizer - in China this appetizer is called "Chinese Seaweed"
