Instructions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together rice wine vinegar, nam pla, and salt and pepper to taste. Slowly drizzle in sesame oil, whisking constantly to make a smooth vinaigrette. Add the shallots and set aside for at least 1⁄2 hour. Adjust seasoning before using.
Step 2
Trim ends of choy sum. Peel the thicker stems, then steam until tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer to a serving plate and pour vinaigrette over hot greens. Serve warm, or chill and serve cold later.
