Instructions: Rinse and drain lettuce thoroughly. Cut out and discard core. Separate leaves and tear into 3- by 5-inch pieces.

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, wine, sugar, salt, and pepper.

Set a 14-inch wok or 12-inch frying pan over high heat. When hot, add oil and garlic; stir-fry until garlic just begins to brown, about 30 seconds. Add lettuce and stir just until slightly limp but still bright green and somewhat crisp, about 2 minutes (if all the lettuce doesnt fit, add half, stir until slightly wilted - about 30 seconds - then stir in the remaining leaves). Stir in soy sauce mixture. Pour onto a platter and serve immediately.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: This dish is similar to a wilted salad; the lettuce should retain some crunch. Serve with the "Rock Sugar Ginger Chicken" (see recipe).
