Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan) with Oyster Sauce (蠔油芥蘭)
Simple one-pot vegetable side dish that is a classic at our house. I like to cut off the leaves and leave the stems bare. Then throw in the stems first and cook for 30 seconds before adding the leaves so both stems & leaves are evenly cooked. I often stir fry leftover shitake mushrooms in a little garlic & soy sauce to complement the gai lan.

Tips
"FLOWER" SNIP TRICK: Gai Lan has small florets at tip of each stem that can make the dish bitter if not snipped off. You can pinch off with your fingernail or snip with tip of your knife before cooking.
