Stir-fried crown daisy (tong hao) is a quick, nutritious, and flavorful dish popular in Chinese cuisine. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to making it at home.
First, prepare the ingredients: 500g fresh crown daisy, 3 cloves garlic (sliced), 1 tbsp cooking oil, 1 tsp light soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and a pinch of sugar (optional). Rinse the crown daisy thoroughly and cut into 5cm sections; drain well to avoid excess water.
Heat the oil in a wok over medium-high fire. Add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (about 10 seconds). Toss in the crown daisy and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until it wilts but remains vibrant green. Season with light soy sauce, salt, and sugar (if using). Stir quickly to combine all ingredients evenly.
Cook for another 30 seconds, then transfer to a plate immediately. Overcooking may make the dish soggy. Serve hot as a side dish with rice or noodles.
This dish highlights the vegetable’s natural earthy flavor and crisp texture. It’s rich in vitamins and fiber, making it a healthy addition to any meal. Enjoy this simple yet delicious homemade dish!
