Ingredients
  

  • 1 bundle leaves of chun (250 gram or thereabouts)
  • 250 g chicken (breast meat or other)
  • 5 pods green chile pepper (medium pungency)

Instructions
 

  • Wash and rinse chun leaves. Heat up a pot of water and blanch the chun leaves in the slow-boiling water for about a minute. Take the chun out, let the water drip off and the leaves cool down. When cool enough to handle, chop the chun leaves finely.
  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • Wash and cut the green chile peppers.
  • Heat up oil in a wok. Fry chicken pieces until starting to brown, then add chile peppers and stir fry until fragrant. Add chun and fry for a bit longer.
  • Salt to taste. (As usual, one could also flavor with soy sauce and Shaoxing wine, but it's quite unnecessary.)
