Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Chinese broccoli (gai lan)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
Instructions
Wash the Chinese broccoli thoroughly. Trim off the tough ends of the stems and cut into 2-3 inch pieces.
Peel and mince the ginger and garlic.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, water, and cornstarch. Mix well to create the sauce.
Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Add the minced ginger and garlic to the pan, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring they do not burn.
Add the Chinese broccoli to the pan and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until bright green and tender, but still slightly crisp.
Pour the prepared sauce over the Chinese broccoli. Stir to coat evenly and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Serve immediately as a side dish or with rice as a main course.
