List of Ingredients
10 stalks Chinese broccoli (gai lan), about 12 ounces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 slices ginger
¼ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing rice cooking wine
Recipe
Wash the broccoli in several changes of cold water and drain thoroughly in
a
colander until dry to the touch. Trim ¼ inch from the bottom of each stalk,
Stalks that are more than ½ inch in diameter should be peeled, then halved
lengthwise. Cut the broccoli stalks and leaves into 2 ½-inch-long pieces,
keeping the stalk ends separate from the leaves and buds.
Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or skillet over high heat until hot but
not
smoking. Add the oil and ginger, and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add only the
broccoli stalks and stir-fry 1 to 1 ½ minutes until the stalks are bright
green. Add the leaves, and continue cooking for 1 minute until the leaves
are
just limp.
Sprinkle on the sugar, salt, and rice wine. Stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, or
until
the vegetables are just tender but still bright green. Serve immediately.
