Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan) with Oyster Sauce

• servings: 4 servings
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound Chinese broccoli (end trimmed and thoroughly washed)

1 teaspoon salt

1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2-3 tablespoons oyster sauce (or to taste)

Directions

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!
