Recipe video above. Real Restaurant Style Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce, a classic at Yum Cha (Dim Sum). This sauce is the real deal, and it requires more than just oyster sauce to make it restaurant style! This sauce goes fabulously with any Chinese greens, like bok choy and pak choy.

Ingredients

1 bunch Chinese broccoli (("Gai Lan") (Note 1))
3/4 tsp corn flour / corn starch
3 tbsp water
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tsp soy sauce (, light or all purpose (not dark soy))
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine ((sub Mirin or Dry Sheer, Note 1))
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil ((or canola or peanut))
1/2 tsp sugar
1 clove garlic (, finely grated)
1 tsp ginger (, finely grated)

Steps:

Trim ends off Chinese Broccoli. If any stems are super thick, cut them in half (you want all stems approximately the same width).
Steam Chinese Broccoli using whatever method you want - I microwave in a steamer on high for 4 minutes. The stem should be just cooked - not super soft and floppy.
Stack the Chinese broccoli together and cut into 4"/10cm lengths, then stack neatly on top of each other.

DIM SUM STYLE GAI-LAN (CHINESE BROCCOLI)

Dim Sum Style Gai-Lan (Chinese Broccoli) image

This tastes just like the Gai-Lan that my DBF and I get when we go to Dim Sum on Sundays. It is really easy to make at home. It is similar to regular broccoli but it is slightly milder and has broad flat leaves instead of florets. If you can't find Gai Lan, you can substitute broccolini. The baking soda helps the broccoli retain its green color while cooking.

GAI LAN (CHINESE BROCCOLI ) WITH OYSTER SAUCE

Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli ) With Oyster Sauce image

Very quick and delicious preparation for gai lan or kai lan. Gai lan is sometimes referred to as Chinese broccoli. The stalks are thinner than regular broccoli and as a bonus you also get to eat beautiful yellow gai lan flowers that are often bundled together. This dish is often served at dim sum restaurants. Cooking time is very, very quick and should not be overcooked.

Time 8m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 lb gai lan
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed but left intact
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon sake (or sherry) or 1 tablespoon chinese rice wine (or sherry)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
3/4 inch fresh ginger, cut into 1/4 inch coins and smashed
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

Wash the gai lan and trim the ends of stalk (about 1/2 inch) and discard the ends.
Mix the chicken stock, sake, and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
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.
Turn down the heat to medium and let gai lan steam for about 3-4 minutes. You should be able to easily pierce with the stalks with a fork.
Remove the gai lan to a plate, leaving any remaining stock mixture in the wok or the pan and add oyster sauce and sesame oil. Cook for about 1 minute on medium high and pour the sauce over the cooked gai lan and serve.
