Many restaurants in China serve cooked lettuce as a side, I found it quite odd at first but it's really tasty and with some soy sauce easy to eat by itself.
Cooking lettuce in the western world will probably raise a few eyebrows.
- el_benhameen 8y agoI’ve gone to a few restaurants in the US that do a cooked version of a caesar salad that’s quite good. I’ve made it myself, too. Grill whole heads of romaine until they’re blackened and wilting, then dress and shave parmesean on them. Well ... don’t do that now, I guess. But once the red alert is over, it’s pretty tasty.
