DIM SUM STYLE GAI-LAN (CHINESE BROCCOLI)
This tastes just like the Gai-Lan that my DBF and I get when we go to Dim Sum on Sundays. It is really easy to make at home. It is similar to regular broccoli but it is slightly milder and has broad flat leaves instead of florets. If you can't find Gai Lan, you can substitute broccolini. The baking soda helps the broccoli retain its green color while cooking.

GAI LAN (CHINESE BROCCOLI ) WITH OYSTER SAUCE
Very quick and delicious preparation for gai lan or kai lan. Gai lan is sometimes referred to as Chinese broccoli. The stalks are thinner than regular broccoli and as a bonus you also get to eat beautiful yellow gai lan flowers that are often bundled together. This dish is often served at dim sum restaurants. Cooking time is very, very quick and should not be overcooked.

CHINESE BROCCOLI (GAI LAN)
While most families have a main dish for breakfast, lunch and dinner, when it was time to eat at my grandfathers house there was several dishes on the table. A typical Chinese style dinner consisted of a fish dish, chicken dish, soup dish and at least three vegetable dishes-one of them being Gai Lan. This was a staple in my...

- 2. Heat oil in wok or roast pan until oil is hot. Add garlic cloves. Toss until golden brown (you don't want your garlic to burn). If it starts to burn, turn the heat down. When Garlic becomes golden brown, add ginger slices tossing for 30 seconds.

- 4. Add base to the pot, toss quickly and cover. Turn heat down to med-high and let steam 3-4 minutes.
- 5. When the Gai Lan looks cooked through, pick out the ginger and throw out. Plate the Gai Lan and Garlic on a plate.
- 6. With the remaining stock in the pot (about 3 tbsp worth), add oyster sauce and sesame oil and cook until it bubbles. Pour over plated Gai Lan.
TENDER CHINESE BROCCOLI (GAI LAN)
My favorite veggie is "gai lan," also known as "Chinese broccoli" or "Chinese kale." It is easily found in Asian groceries these days, and I love the stuff! It doesn't taste like North American broccoli, no sir... I haven't been able to pin down exactly what other veggie it tastes like, but I do believe it resembles tender, tasty artichoke heart. Give it a try! The recipe below is how I make it, although you can also steam it.

Steps:
- Trim the gai lan- don't cut off the long, thick stem because, unlike North American broccoli, the stem of gai lan will cook well to become nice and tender; the flowers are also edible so don't remove them.
- Place gai lan in a Dutch oven and fill with plenty of water.
- Add the chopped garlic.
- Bring water to a boil, lower heat, and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the thickest part of the stem is tender.
- Combine the soy, brown sugar, fish sauce, and sesame oil.
- Drain the gai lan and place on serving plate, then drizzle the soy mixture over.
- Serve and enjoy!
- Gai lan is also good with oyster sauce.

GAI LAN (CHINESE BROCCOLI) AND BEEF
My Chinese roommate taught me to make this yummy dish. Mostly because she got tired of making it for me as I can't get enough of it. This is so good and your house will be filled with wonderful smells. If you like garlic this is a must.

Steps:
- Combine sauces and oil and marinate beef in them for about 30 minutes.
- It should cover all of the beef.
- If not add more in even amounts.
- Meanwhile wash gai lan well and cut into three to four inch pieces.
- (Note: seems to taste better when leaves and stalks are attached) 5-A Boil a large pot of water 5-B When water boils drop pieces of gai lan into boiling water and remove when desired softness.
- (I like mine a little crispy) Heat a frying pan or wok over medium high heat.
- When pan is hot, sauté garlic in about 1 tsp of oil until just lightly browned.
- Be careful-- this will sizzle a lot.
- When garlic is browned dump in the beef with marinade and sauté until done.
- Serve over steamed rice, and Chinese broccoli.
- Use remaining sauce with rice and veggie.
- NOTE: This might be too salty for some. I suggest using a lite soy sauce instead of regular to reduce the salt content some.
