• In a large wok or pan heat 1 1/2 T vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook until lightly golden about 1 to 2 minutes. Be careful you do not burn the garlic.
• Turn the heat to high and add the ginger and cook for 15 to 20 seconds and add gai lan stalks.
• With a large spoon or spatula scoop up the oil and bathe the gai lan stalks for about 1 minute.
• Pour the chicken stock mixture and immediately cover the wok or the pan with a tight fitting lid.

Steps:

• Boil 2 quarts/liters of water in your wok or a large pot, and add the salt and oil directly to the water.
• When the water reaches a good raging boil, carefully add the whole stalks of Chinese broccoli. (Depending on how much you have, you may want to work in two batches.)
• Use tongs or a pair of chopsticks to submerge the veggies completely and cook for 1-2 minutes, until tender but still a bit crunchy. (If you like the veggies soft, leave them in a bit longer.)
• Use a pair of tongs or chopsticks to take the Chinese broccoli out of the water. Carefully shake off excess liquid and arrange on a plate. Once they are all plated, you can drain any excess water that may have pooled on the plate.
• Drizzle a couple tablespoons oyster sauce evenly over the veggies and serve!
