Greens with Asian Oyster Sauce

Fo Fa

Something I always liked. But in the "regular" grocery stores, hard to find stalky, leafy greens like Chinese Broccoli, which I am using here. Good for you, pretty easy to make, tastes great. What's not to like? Almost any stalky greens will work for this, you just may need to adjust cooking time.
Some people don't like the thick stalks as much, so you can split them lengthwise in those cases. If they are really long, cut them down, but you may need to cook the stalks longer than the leaves in that case, so do the stalks first, for a couple minutes, add other leaves the last minute or two in the blanch and maybe even the skillet part. Enjoy.

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
