Tender Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan)

1. 1

   Trim the gai lan- don't cut off the long, thick stem because, unlike North American broccoli, the stem of gai lan will cook well to become nice and tender; the flowers are also edible so don't remove them.

2. 2

   Place gai lan in a Dutch oven and fill with plenty of water.

3. 3

   Add the chopped garlic.

4. 4

   Bring water to a boil, lower heat, and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the thickest part of the stem is tender.

5. 5

   Combine the soy, brown sugar, fish sauce, and sesame oil.

6. 6

   Drain the gai lan and place on serving plate, then drizzle the soy mixture over.

7. 7

   Serve and enjoy!

8. 8

   Gai lan is also good with oyster sauce.
