Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Rabbits and Chinese Broccoli


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's 'Rabbits' theme!  Here are my bunnies just in time for Spring!

For the dinner date I made some Chinese Broccoli using this recipe I found on Instagram.




1 bunch of chinese broccoli (gai lan).
2 tbs oil
water for boiling

Sauce:

1/2 c water, 1/2 tbs cornstarch, 2 cloves of garlic minced, 1 tsp sugar, 3 tbs oyster sauce

Make an incision into the thickest part of the broccoli stems to aid in softening them during blanching.  Bring enough water to cover the broccoli to a boil, add some oil.  Blanche the broccoli for about 3 minutes and set aside.  Mix the sauce ingredients and simmer 3-4 minutes.  Pour this sauce over the broccoli.

The picture with the rabbits is lovely!
Broccoli is considered very healthy, yet I beieve it's full of bacteria even after a thorough wash.

Love the rabbits but not so crazy about any kind of broccoli.

Love the sweet bunnies, Christine! Your Chinese broccoli looks healthy and delicious. I'm a little scared of greens. My great aunt Maude terrorized me as a child when she insisted on my eating beet greens when I was staying with her. I swear I could feel the iron in them scratching my throat as I forced them down. Maybe your sauce would lubricate my throat and I could swallow them. Have a lovely weekend!

Yum! I haven't had that in a long time and I really do love it.

Love, love, love your bunnies. They are sooo cute :) As for Chinese broccoli, I have had it before with probably a different recipe, but I love all of the Chinese greens and will try this before. Kids are on Spring Break, so I am busier than usual this week and thus my comments with be shorter than I like. Take care, Christine ...
