Leftover Iceberg Lettuce has been sitting in the fridge for a while. I didn’t want to make a salad as it was too cold. I wanted to cook something warm and more comforting. So, I stir-fried it with Beef. When I stir-fry Beef, I often use Oyster Sauce to season it. Iceberg Lettuce retains its crunchiness even after cooked, and it was delicious with Garlic and Oyster Sauce.
