Time 17m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Chinese broccoli aka gai lan (or broccoli rabe or Western-style broccoli, 12 to 20 stalks or enough for 2 to 4 people)
1 1/2 tbsp. garlic (finely chopped)
1/2 tsp. dried crushed chili
2 to 3 tbsp. vegetable oil
For the Stir Fry Sauce:
3 tbsp. sherry (or cooking sherry)
1/4 cup chicken (or vegetable/faux chicken stock)
1 1/2 tbsp. oyster sauce (or Lee Kum Kee Vegetarian Stir-Fry Sauce )
1 to 2 tsp. brown sugar (broccoli rabe will need 2 tsp.)
Optional: 1/3 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp. cool water

Steps:

  • Thoroughly rinse your greens well to remove any grit and let drain in a colander while you prepare the stir-fry sauce.
  • In a cup, mix together the sherry, stock, oyster sauce (or stir-fry sauce), and brown sugar. Set aside.
  • Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons oil and swirl around, then add the garlic and chile (if using). Stir-fry 30 seconds to 1 minutes (avoid over-browning the garlic―you want it still white in color, or it will taste bitter).
  • Add the Chinese broccoli plus 2 to 3 tablespoons of the stir-fry sauce, you've made. Stir-fry until the ​wok becomes dry, then add 2 to 3 tablespoons more stir-fry sauce. Cook in this way 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add all the remaining stir-fry sauce and reduce heat to medium-low, so that the dish is gently simmering. Simmer until you're happy with the cooked texture of the broccoli. Tip: the stems should still taste crunchy (not too soft or soggy). If you'd like a thicker sauce, add the cornstarch dissolved in water mixture, and simmer 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and taste-test. Add a little more sugar if too bitter (broccoli rabe is more bitter than Chinese broccoli), or a little more oyster sauce (or veg. stir-fry sauce) if not salty or flavorful enough. If too salty, add a bit of lime or lemon juice.
  • To serve, tilt your vegetables out of the wok into a shallow serving bowl and pour any remaining sauce from the wok over top (including the garlic bits). Serve with rice and enjoy!
