I had this dish - Stir-Fried Romanine (Cos Lettuce) with preserved chilli bean curd in one of the vegetarian eateries in Ipoh, Malaysia. Besides eating romaine raw or stir fried with garlic/ginger and drizzle with light soy sauce, this is another way to cook this vegetable. Here is the recipe which I have reinvented. Just do not over cook it and serve immediately is the best way to eat this dish. Preparation: 5 mins, Cooking time: 3 mins
Ingredients (serves 2)
° 250g-300g romaine (cos lettuce)
° 1 slice ginger or 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
° 1 tablespoon olive oil
° 1-1½ cubes preserved chilli bean curd or preserved bean curd, mashed
Method
1. Heat oil in a wok. Add the ginger or garlic and fry till fragrant.
2. Stir in the mashed preserved bean curd and fry for less than half a minute.
3. Throw in the Romaine and stir-fry briskly for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.

whats romaine in chinese?
Hi Dreamy
It should be 罗蔓生菜 (a picture of it @ http://www.xylzg.com.cn/wspx/yanwsh/new_page_2.htm)
Locally, at the wet market it is translated to 罗明胆, something like that, if i am not wrong.
Cheers,
Not "罗明胆" but "罗门胆" :)

Hi SF
Yes, at the wet market near my place and Prime. The price is reasonable.
I found rocket leaves (those used in salad), in Prime too. I intend to buy some.
Bingo, you got it right - is Fu lu. :)
