There are many variations on the spelling of this popular yum cha dish. San choi bao, sang choy bao, san choi bow, and so on. However you choose to spell it, there is no doubt that this classic is delicious. I created this version after much trial and error. It has a great depth of flavour.
We’ve included our method for preparing the iceberg lettuce cups, which many people find to be a little boring or especially tricky. Our method is simple and reduces the overall time it takes to prepare this dish.
The trick with this dish, and any stir fry, is to have all ingredients prepped and ready before the cooking process begins.
