thoughts&stories

Chinese broccoli looks like what we normally find in the grocery aisle but tends to be a bit longer and thinner.  Any type broccoli works with this recipe but to stay within the Asian theme, I like to use what is called Gai Lan (Cantonese) or Jie Lan (Mandarin).  You can also use regular broccoli or sprouting broccoli for the recipe with the same delicious results.

Ingredients

Directions

1
Done

Trim and peel the broccolini stems but keep long - if there are large leaves on the top keep them on, but remove any leaves on the stalk.

2
Done

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. I do not salt the water because of the soy sauce but you may want to lightly salt.

3
Done

Add the broccolini and cook uncovered until just tender which should be about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

4
Done

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the sesame oil and garlic. Gently saute garlic until soft- do not brown you just want to release the lovely flavor. It should take 3-4 minutes. Add the soy sauce.

5
Done

Toss the broccolini into the saucepan with garlic and sesame oil and coat well. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using).

6
Done

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately or remove from burner, set aside. When ready to serve, heat over low flame until hot.
