GAI LAN (CHINESE BROCCOLI ) WITH OYSTER SAUCE
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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli: Look for broccoli with tight florets and a deep green color. Avoid florets that are yellowing or have signs of wilting.
- Cut broccoli into uniform florets: This will ensure even cooking. If you are using baby broccoli, you can leave them whole.
- Blanch the broccoli before stir-frying: This will help to preserve its color and nutrients. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the broccoli florets, and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the broccoli immediately and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: This will help to prevent the broccoli from sticking. If you don't have a wok or skillet, you can use a large pot.
- Cook the broccoli over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear and prevent the broccoli from becoming mushy. Stir-fry the broccoli for 3-4 minutes, or until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Add the sauce at the end of cooking: This will help to preserve the flavor of the sauce and prevent it from burning.
- Serve the broccoli immediately: Broccoli is best enjoyed fresh out of the wok or skillet.
Conclusion:
Broccoli with East-West Sauce is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The broccoli is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is a delicious combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
