The Chinese staple stir-fry takes on a green hue here. A clutch of greens — name it, they have got it — Chinese cabbage, pok choy, broccoli and zucchini — troop in and bond over their skin colour on the plate. The dish that retains the natural virtues of vegetables is rich in vitamins too, informs the chef.

Avtar Singh Rana, Corporate Chef, Berco's, has spent 14 years whipping up flavours in the kitchens of various reputed hotels. The ala minute aspect of Chinese cooking, where dishes begin to form only after the order is placed, and the speed with which they are delivered, fascinates the chef.
