This simple stir-fly is a good, easy way to use up lettuce, excess or not. Serve this with any of the hearty Chinese-style entrees. Wash the romaine leaves without separating them from the stem. Shake out the excess water, then lay the whole head of lettuce on a cutting board. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide shreds. Heat the oil in a wok or stir-fry pan. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté over medium-low heat until golden. Add the shredded lettuce and sherry then turn the heat to medium, and cover just until it wilts down a bit, about 2 minutes. Then uncover, sprinkle in the sugar, and stir-fry for 2 minutes or more. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with sesame oil for extra flavor, if desired. Serve at once.
