1/2 tbsp shredded ginger
1 tbsp sliced/chopped garlic
oil for deep frying

Seasonings:
1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tbsp light soya sauce
drizzle of shaoxing wine/hua tiao chiew
drizzle of water

Methods:

1. Wash the vegetable, separate leaves from the stems. Cut leaves into fine shreds and the stems into slices.
2. Heat up oil for deep-frying. Make sure the heat is not too hot or else the leaves will be burnt. Deep-fry the leaves until crispy, dish and drain.
3. In a clean wok put 1 1/2 tbsp of oil, saute ginger and garlic until fragrant.  Add in kai lan stems, give it a quick stir, put in seasoning and stir-fry until cooked. Dish up.
4. On a platter, put the fried kai lan leaves in the center and the stems at the side. Serve immediately to taste the crunchiness of the kai lan leaves.

Note: For those who prefer extra flavour on this dish, sprinkle some crispy fried small anchovies over the kai lan.  Vegetable lovers will sure enjoy this simple dish!
