We will cut Chinese Broccoli or Gai Lan into three parts and separate them part by part. so it will look pretty on the plate, just like restaurant style.
For the bottom part, we will peel off the thick skin just to make sure it is not too chewy and is fully edible.
Continue the process until you achieve the desired amount.
If the stem is too thick, cut it in half lengthwise
Feel the stem. If the bottom section is hard, cut it off and throw it away. Trim the base until your knife passes through easily,
if you have to force your knife to cut that part of stem, just throw that tough part away.
After you are done peeling, make sure you separate those three prepared parts on the plate nicely and don't mix them up.
We will cook them separately
Boil water, then add salt and olive oil.
The salt enhances the green color, and the oil adds an appetizing sheen.
While we wait for the water to boil, we'll prepare the sauce.
Add chopped garlic and olive oil to another saucepan.
In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water
Add the cornstarch mix to the saucepan.
Add 1 Tablespoon Sugar ,1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce, Add another 1/4 cup of water to achieve a nice consistency.
And the sauce is Done!
Now that the water is boiled in the pot, cook the stem parts of broccoli first in the pot.
It only takes about a minute to cook, so prepare a plate and a utensil to quickly remove them from the pot.
Put the second part of broccoli in , and cook for about a minute also or less.
Now add the top part of broccoli ( the green part) . It should be done within 30 seconds.
Arrange them again nicely on the plate. It should look very beautiful and appetite.
And Now It's ready to serve with your delicious sauce on top.
