Thursday’s Side Dish: Chinese Broccoli Stir-fry

An Asian version of the green giant


This stir-fry is simpler to prepare than our broccoli and cashews dish. Chinese broccoli may not have the attractive florets of its bushy relative; however, they’re still a good serving of greens. This is also a true side dish with no call for meat. Here is our recipe:

What you will need:
1 wooden spoon
1 frying pan (or wok)
1 garlic clove, whole
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2lbs Chinese broccoli, chopped
Pinch of black pepper

Cooking and Directions:

Heat pan on medium-high heat. Add cooking oil. Throw in garlic and onions. Let them sauté for 2-3 minutes. Now, add Chinese broccoli. Sprinkle in some black pepper. Let cook for 5-8 minutes. Finally, drizzle in soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir well. Remove whole garlic clove. Place in platter and serve immediately.

  1. Mmm. Sounds awesome. Unfortunately, being geographically closer to China doesn't mean it's available where I live. Tons of bok choy, though.
