Quick n Easy

Here is a quick n easy but tasty and looks good stir fry vegetable dish. On a moderate heat fry off thin slices of red chilli in a light oil, I used grape oil. After a minute throw in three heart stalks of celery cut into 3mm slices, stir around. After another minute stir in five cos lettuce outer leaves cut into 5mm strips across their width, turn them around so they all get the heat. Just as they begin to show signs of wilting, after about three minutes, turn heat up to high, to drive off any moisture. Put in about eight chunks of defrosted baby spinach (or half pound of dried fresh young leafs), mix well then finish with a bunch of spring onion cut into coarse slices about 4mm thick. Keep turning so nothing scorches, keep the moisture at bay and watch the lettuce. Check seasoning and serve immediately just before the lettuce collapses in about another two minutes. It is a fast cooking process so have everything prepared before hand. It has very nice fresh taste with a crispy crunch and just a whiff of heat.
