Directions
Dim Sum Style Gai-Lan (Chinese Broccoli),This tastes just like the Gai-Lan that my DBF and I get when we go to Dim Sum on Sundays. It is really easy to make at home. It is similar to regular broccoli but it is slightly milder and has broad flat leaves instead of florets. If you can’t find Gai Lan, you can substitute broccolini. The baking soda helps the broccoli retain its green color while cooking.,I’m mostly Chinese (and part Japanese). This recipe worked well for me. It’s quite authentic and very tasty! used my own oyster sauce that I always have in my fridge. It’s All Natural and very healthy, from KAME (brand name). Only things I would change about the instructions are: 1) use a peeler to peel off the outer skin of the hard stalk/stems 2) to throw in the end pieces of Gai Lan first, then simmer for 3 minutes, then throw in the leaves for cook for just 1 minutes. End pieces always takes longer to cook.,I had dim sum for the first time about a month ago and I’ve been dreaming about the Chinese broccoli ever since. This recipe tasted just like the stuff I had at the dim sum place. used the water option in making the sauce (instead of chicken broth) and it tasted just fine. I also doubled the sauce since I don’t have a small saucepan, and I’ll use it on more gai lan and other green veggies later in the week.
