Restaurant Style Chinese Broccoli With Oyster Sauce Food

CHINESE BROCCOLI (GAI LAN) WITH OYSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Boil 2 quarts/liters of water in your wok or a large pot, and add the salt and oil directly to the water.
• When the water reaches a good raging boil, carefully add the whole stalks of Chinese broccoli. (Depending on how much you have, you may want to work in two batches.)
• Use tongs or a pair of chopsticks to submerge the veggies completely and cook for 1-2 minutes, until tender but still a bit crunchy. (If you like the veggies soft, leave them in a bit longer.)
• Use a pair of tongs or chopsticks to take the Chinese broccoli out of the water. Carefully shake off excess liquid and arrange on a plate. Once they are all plated, you can drain any excess water that may have pooled on the plate.
• Drizzle a couple tablespoons oyster sauce evenly over the veggies and serve!

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the garlic, ginger and jalapeno and cook until the garlic is golden and fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the broccoli, oyster sauce, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss to coat.
