SPICY GAI LAN AND BEAN CURD SOUP



Spicy Gai Lan and Bean Curd Soup image

Gai Lan, which is known as Chinese broccoli, can be found at many Asian grocers. But if you can't find it, don't despair, fresh tender broccoli can be substituted in a pinch (it tastes quite similar anyway). This makes a wonderful light soup which can be totally vegetarian if you wish. It does turn out a bit spicy with the full three peppers sliced in (with the seeds)(I used fresh red Thai dragons in the recipe), so adjust the heat to your own taste. I think this also might be nice with chicken substituted for the tofu- if you choose to do that, add about 10-12 ounces of chopped cooked chicken where you would add the tofu. Enjoy!

CHOW GAI LAN (JADE GREEN BROCCOLI)



Chow Gai Lan (Jade Green Broccoli) image

Adapted from a Chinese cookbook by Jim Lee that was published around 1970. This is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks; I was introduced to it by friends who were Chinese students I knew at University of Virginia. This is traditionally made with gai lan, or Chinese broccoli, but the recipe works well with any broccoli you can find.

GAI LAN (CHINESE BROCCOLI ) WITH OYSTER SAUCE



Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli ) With Oyster Sauce image

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.

GAI LAN (CHINESE BROCCOLI) AND BEEF



Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli) and Beef image

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.

Categories     Steak

Time 1h

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 -2 lb lean steak, sliced thinly into one inch long pieces. (i usually get the presliced "stir fry" steak at my grocery)
1 bunch gai lan (about 2-3lbs, can be found in farmers market or ethnic grocer. Its a large leafy vegetable that tast)
6 teaspoons fish sauce
6 teaspoons sesame oil
6 teaspoons soy sauce
4 -6 fresh garlic cloves, chopped finely (must be fresh, not jarred)

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.

DIM SUM STYLE GAI-LAN (CHINESE BROCCOLI)



Dim Sum Style Gai-Lan (Chinese Broccoli) image

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.
