Description

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) Gai Lan (Chinese broccoli)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1½ inch ginger, peeled and cut into thin slices
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 oz mushrooms (optional)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Shao Hsing rice wine
• 1 tsp corn starch mixed with 2 tbsp water
• 1 tsp sesame oil

Directions

• Wash and drain Gai Lan thoroughly. Trim 1 inch off the end of the stalks. Cut off each leave from the stalk and then cut the leave into 2 or 3 bite size pieces at a diagonal, about 2 to 3 inches in length. Cut the top part of the remaining stalk into bite size pieces as well, leaving the remaining end of 3 to 5 inches. This woody section should be peeled with a paring knife before cutting diagonally into bite size pieces. Stems and leaves should preferably be separated.
• Heat a wok or large pan. When it is hot, add vegetable oil. Sauté ginger for about 1 minute. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
• Add the Gai Lan stems and mushrooms (if using). Fry for about 2 minutes.
• Now, add the Gai Lan leaves, soy sauce, and rice wine. Stir fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Gai Lan leaves should be wilted but still crunchy.
• Pour in cornstarch mixture. Stir to combine for another 1 to 2 minutes. Corn starch mixture will thicken.
• Turn off heat. Drizzle sesame oil over vegetables. Remove and serve immediately.
