Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan)

Recipe online: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/128750/chinese-broccoli/?print

Divided the leaves from the stems.

Brought a large pot of boiling (slightly salted) water to boil.

Play stems in boiling water for 3 minutes, and then add the leaves and continue cooking for a further minute then drain. So far so good.

Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root or to taste

This sauce didn’t excite me. I would omit the cornstarch, but look for a different sauce.
