Steamed Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli) with Oyster Sauce
You'll need:
As much gai lan as you'd like
Oyster sauce, to taste
Chop off the bottom inch or so of stems. If the stems are particularly fibrous, you might want to peel the outer layer as well.
Wash gai lan.
Steam for 10 to 15 minutes until tender-crisp.
Serve with a light drizzle of oyster sauce. Oyster sauce is extremely salty so a little goes a long way.
Enjoy!

1 year ago today, leeks from my garden went into a Tortilla de Patatas (Spanish Potato Omelet).
Yum!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the steaming recipes...such a healthy way to cook!
By any chance, you planted those kailan? Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteI love kailan especially when they are cooked just right. Sweet and crunchy stems!
So simple and yet so tasty.

ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this quick recipe! I found some chinese broccoli at the store and wasn't sure what to do with it...this is really helpful! Looks delicious, this is also one of my favorites at dim sum.
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the prices they charge for this at dim sum! Far cheaper to make your own.
