Boiled Lettuce with Garlic & Oyster Sauce

This recipe, ultimately, is a simple one. Which is to say that the details really make a difference. First, is the lettuce. Properly cooked lettuce should still be brilliantly green with a crisp stem and slippery, silky leaves, which can only be achieved if blanched briefly in a large amount of salted water. Without enough water, the greens will take too long to come to temperature and then turn yellow. Without salt, the greens will taste bland.
