BROCCOLI WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a metal pie plate or heatproof flat dish set on a round metal rack in a wok or in a steamer steam the sausage, covered, over boiling water for 20 minutes, transfer it with tongs to a cutting board, and cut it diagonally into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Mound the sausage in a large shallow serving dish and keep it warm, covered, in a preheated 250 degree oven.
• In a heated wok heat the oil with the ginger and salt over high heat until the oil just begins to smoke, add the broccoli, and stir-fry the mixture for 2 minutes. Drizzle the wine around the edge of the wok, stir-fry the mixture for 1 minute, or until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender, and transfer it to the dish, arranging it around the sausage.

MAKE STIR-FRIED CHINESE BROCCOLI AT HOME

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!
