I have recently learned how to prepare perfect chinese broccoli. You may have seen these greens at the supermarket. They are also known as 'Gai Lan'. I had the tendency to overcook them but I've finally figured it out. It is surprisingly easy to make.
Ingredients
1 bunch of chinese broccoli (gai lan)
water
Sauce
2 tbs oyster sauce
1 tbs light soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 tbs sesame oil
2 tbs canola oil
Mix the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Use a vegetable peeler to trim the tougher ends of the broccoli stems as pictured. Then rinse the bunch and blanche in boiling water for no more than 3 or 4 minutes until fork tender. Remove the broccoli to a tray. Now mix the sauce into it and enjoy the crunchy goodness. I love the crunchy stems while son K loves the leafy part.
