An Easy Chinese Greens Food

ASIAN GREENS

Steps:

• Whisk the oil and oyster sauce with 1 tbsp water in a saucepan. Cook for 2-3 mins until glossy, then set aside.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the greens, turn down the heat and cook for 2 mins, or until just wilted, then drain.
• To serve: cut any large bulbs in half and put on a plate. Drizzle the sauce over and serve immediately.

STICKY SALMON WITH CHINESE GREENS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Place the salmon on a baking tray. Mix together the oyster sauce, teriyaki and honey, then brush a little over the fish. Roast for 8-10 mins until glazed and just cooked through. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a wok, then fry the ginger, garlic and chilli for 1 min. Stir-fry the broccoli or any larger, harder veg for 3 mins, then add the leafy veg and cook for 1-2 mins more. Stir in the rest of the sticky sauce, heat through and serve with the fish.

CHINESE BEEF AND GREENS

• Marinate meat in this. Time not important--anything from 15 minutes to overnight if desired.
• Fry 1 chopped onion in a little oil until soft.

• Stir until soft.
• Add meat and stock marinade.
• Simmer until meat is cooked and the sauce is glossy and thickened.
• A little water may be used to thin out stock if desired.
• Any meat or veggie can be used to create your own version of this easy recipe.
