Eat Your Greens!: Chinese Broccoli in Oyster Sauce



So my hubby bought some veggies in the Vietnamese store on Saturday one looked like spinach/broccoli, so I googled it and looked at images and found out it was Chinese Broccoli/Kai Lan, I have made Bok Choy before, so I thought I would make it in a similar way.

Ingredients: Chinese Broccoli one bunch, 1/2 red onion, little sugar, ginger/garlic paste (lazy way!), oyster sauce and a little soy sauce


1. Saute the onion in olive oil, with ginger/garlic paste, add oyster sauce and soy to taste, then add chopped Chinese Broccoli, a little water, cover and steam for 5-10 min under tender.


Its high in fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Iron
Lovely, so we are going to be getting ours greens tonight!

  10. Oh now this is good, and very easy. A great standby.

    I try to keep a bottle of oyster sauce in the fridge at all times, just in case of culinary emergency.

    My kids will actually eat brocolli, Chinese or otherwise, when it's smothered in oyster sauce. I know, it's amazing isn't it?
