Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Pinch of salt and vegetable oil (, to blanch greens (Optional))
1 small batch (about 4 cups / 300 g) Chinese greens or other vegetables (yu choy, baby bok choy, choy sum, spinach, Chinese broccoli, broccoli, and more)
2 tablespoons peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
4 cloves garlic (, coarsely chopped)
1 tablespoon light soy sauce (or soy sauce)

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and several drops of vegetable oil so that the blanched vegetables will look greener (optional), stir to mix well.
  • Add the vegetables. Blanch until just cooked through and still crisp. It takes 1 minute or so to cook tender vegetables such as spinach, baby bok choy, yu choy, chard, and choy sum. It takes 2 to 3 minutes for Chinese broccoli, broccoli, and broccolini.
  • Once the vegetables are done, immediately rinse them with cold tap water to stop cooking. Stop once the vegetables have cooled to a warm temperature and not completely cold. Drain, gently squeezing out as much water as you can, then set aside in a strainer to dry further. If you plan to serve them immediately, you can use paper towels to pat the vegetables dry.
  • When you're ready to serve, plate the blanched vegetables with minimal overlapping. (*Footnote 2)
  • Heat the oil in a small saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic, stirring constantly until the edges of the garlic turns golden (*Footnote 3). Then immediately pour the hot oil with the garlic over the plated vegetables.
  • Drizzle soy sauce on top of vegetables and serve immediately as a side dish.

  • In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, water, dry sherry, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch, red pepper flakes and dry mustard together. Set aside.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, bring 1 inch of water to a rapid boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Strain the broccoli in a colander and then run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside and allow to fully drain.
  • Wipe the skillet dry. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat over high heat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and red peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes, until the mushrooms are browned and the peppers are softened. Add the garlic, white/light green scallions, and ginger; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return the broccoli to the pan and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Add the reserved sauce. Toss and cook until the sauce is thickened and the vegetables are evenly coated, about 30 seconds. Transfer to serving dish and sprinkle with dark green scallions. Serve with rice, if desired.

  • Peel off the fibrous surface of the stalk (for the larger vegetables) Cut off the stem of the vegetables. For the large and older vegetables, remove the fibrous surface of the stalk with a vegetable peeler until the white part of the stalk is revealed.
  • Rinse the Chinese vegetables thoroughly. Rinse the vegetables by changing the water at least twice. You can also do this under running water. The goal is to remove any sand or dirt that adheres to the vegetables.
  • Separate the stems and leaves (for the larger vegetables) Once you have cleaned the vegetables, separate the leaves and the stalks. Stir fry the stalks first until they start to turn tender before adding the leaves.
  • Wash and drain the vegetables with a colander. Wash the greens thoroughly with water and drain by putting them in a colander (or with a salad spinner).
  • Cut the garlic into small pieces. Stir-fry Chinese vegetable with garlic is the basic recipe in most ordinary households. The flavor is incredible with any sort of vegetables.
  • Saute the garlic over low heat. The Chinese vegetable stir fry sequence starts with adding some cooking oil into the wok over low heat. Swirl the oil around so that the oil is fully coated at the bottom of the wok.
  • Add salt to the garlic. Adding salt to the garlic instead of the vegetables is another trick that I have discovered. My method is to add ALL the salt necessary for the whole dish to the garlic.
  • Cook the stalk first, then the leaves (for the large vegetables) Don’t crowd the wok. Choose a wok or a frying pan large enough to hold more vegetables than you think.
  • How long should I stir-fry these Chinese vegetables? Chinese vegetable stir fry should be done until it is crisp-tender, with little, or no more gravy visible in the wok.
