Stir Fried "Huang Ti Miao" with butter (皇帝苗)

"Huang Ti Miao" was one of my favourite vegetable, but somehow I don't know what is it called in English. I used to make eggs soup with it and it taste delicious too. At the same time, by stir frying it with some butter really makes the vegetable tastes good too! And, do you know that you can replant the stem of the vegetables to get another batch of fresh vegetables??? I got this idea from this knowledgeable Mommy, I was thrilled by the idea and wish to give it a try. Hopefully I can see the plant bear leaves! haha.....

Ingredients:
200gm Huang Ti Miao - 皇帝苗 (It looks like basil leaves) - Use leaves only
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves, garlic
Salt to taste
Methods:
1. Washed & soaked vegetable with salt water for 10 mins. Drained.
2. Heat up non-stick pan, add in butter, sautee garlic till fragrant.
3. Add in vegetables, stir fried for 5 mins.
4. If it is too dry, just sprinkle some water.
5. Dish up & serve.
