Best 4 Jade Green Broccoli Recipes
CHOW GAI LAN (JADE GREEN BROCCOLI)
Adapted from a Chinese cookbook by Jim Lee that was published around 1970. This is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks; I was introduced to it by friends who were Chinese students I knew at University of Virginia. This is traditionally made with gai lan, or Chinese broccoli, but the recipe works well with any broccoli you can find.

GAI LAN (CHINESE BROCCOLI ) WITH OYSTER SAUCE
Very quick and delicious preparation for gai lan or kai lan. Gai lan is sometimes referred to as Chinese broccoli. The stalks are thinner than regular broccoli and as a bonus you also get to eat beautiful yellow gai lan flowers that are often bundled together. This dish is often served at dim sum restaurants. Cooking time is very, very quick and should not be overcooked.

Steps:
- Wash the gai lan and trim the ends of stalk (about 1/2 inch) and discard the ends.
- Mix the chicken stock, sake, and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large wok or pan heat 1 1/2 T vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook until lightly golden about 1 to 2 minutes. Be careful you do not burn the garlic.
- Turn the heat to high and add the ginger and cook for 15 to 20 seconds and add gai lan stalks.
- With a large spoon or spatula scoop up the oil and bathe the gai lan stalks for about 1 minute.
- Pour the chicken stock mixture and immediately cover the wok or the pan with a tight fitting lid.
- Turn down the heat to medium and let gai lan steam for about 3-4 minutes. You should be able to easily pierce with the stalks with a fork.
- Remove the gai lan to a plate, leaving any remaining stock mixture in the wok or the pan and add oyster sauce and sesame oil. Cook for about 1 minute on medium high and pour the sauce over the cooked gai lan and serve.

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.
