Recipe: Gai Lan (chinese broccolli)

So far I've only tried fried GL where even after 20 minutes the stems weren't soft. I'll try boiling the GL next.

Frying Pan Recipe
Ingredients:
Gai Lan
Chinese Garlic Sauce:
3-4 cloves of garlic (chopped or minced)
1 teaspoon minced ginger (optional)
1/4c - 1/2c each of vinegar, water, sugar
ts of hot sauce (optional, how ever much you want)

Wash and break off an inch of the GL stems.
In a pot mix all the sauce ingredients and let it boil down half way.

In a pan or wok, start frying the GL in oil (med-high heat)
Add the sauce
Cover and fry for 15-20 minutes.

The texture might still be a bit tough, but its delicious!
