CHINESE BROCCOLI RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock (or water or vegetable sauce), soy sauce, corn starch, Shaoxing wine, and toasted sesame oil. Set aside.
• In a wok or large pan, heat up the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until soft but not brown.
• Turn the heat up to medium high and add the gai lan to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gai lan is bright green and tender-crisp, about 2-4 minutes depending on size.
• Add the prepared sauce to the pan and let it come to a simmer and reduce slightly.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While the water is coming to a boil, make the sauce: In a small pot, heat up half of the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until soft but not brown. Stir in oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, and toasted sesame oil. Remove from the heat and set it aside.
• Add the remaining oil to the boiling water as well as a pinch of salt. Add the gai lan and cook, until bright green and tender-crisp, about 2-4 minutes, depending on size. Drain well.

MAKE STIR-FRIED CHINESE BROCCOLI AT HOME

Steps:

• Thoroughly rinse your greens well to remove any grit and let drain in a colander while you prepare the stir-fry sauce.
• In a cup, mix together the sherry, stock, oyster sauce (or stir-fry sauce), and brown sugar. Set aside.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons oil and swirl around, then add the garlic and chile (if using). Stir-fry 30 seconds to 1 minutes (avoid over-browning the garlic―you want it still white in color, or it will taste bitter).
• Add the Chinese broccoli plus 2 to 3 tablespoons of the stir-fry sauce, you've made. Stir-fry until the ​wok becomes dry, then add 2 to 3 tablespoons more stir-fry sauce. Cook in this way 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add all the remaining stir-fry sauce and reduce heat to medium-low, so that the dish is gently simmering. Simmer until you're happy with the cooked texture of the broccoli. Tip: the stems should still taste crunchy (not too soft or soggy). If you'd like a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch dissolved in water mixture, and simmer 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Remove from heat and taste-test. Add a little more sugar if too bitter (broccoli rabe is more bitter than Chinese broccoli), or a little more oyster sauce (or veg. stir-fry sauce) if not salty or flavorful enough. If too salty, add a bit of lime or lemon juice.
• To serve, tilt your vegetables out of the wok into a shallow serving bowl and pour any remaining sauce from the wok over top (including the garlic bits). Serve with rice and enjoy!
