Yield Makes 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound Chinese broccoli (1 large bunch; sometimes called Chinese kale)
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 1/2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine* or sake
4 1/2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
1/2 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over and slightly flaked
3 tablespoons minced scallion (white part only)
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
Special Equipment
a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok

Steps:

  • Peel broccoli stems with a vegetable peeler, then, keeping stems separate, cut stems, leaves, and florets diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Cook stem pieces in an 8-quart pot of (unsalted) boiling water 1 minute, then add leaves and florets and cook, stirring occasionally, until stems are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes more. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop cooking. Drain broccoli well.
  • Stir together chicken broth, cornstarch, sesame oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 1/2 tablespoons rice wine in a bowl until combined well.
  • Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add 2 1/4 teaspoons oil, swirling it around wok. Add crabmeat and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add remaining 2 tablespoons rice wine, then stir-fry 30 seconds more and transfer to a bowl.
  • Add remaining 2 1/4 teaspoons oil to wok and heat until it begins to smoke. Add scallion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Stir sauce, then add to wok and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add broccoli and crabmeat, then toss lightly to combine and transfer to a platter. Serve immediately.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would use less sugar next time.

The sauce for this dish was a bit too thick for my liking. I would thin it out with a little bit of water next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as expected. The broccoli was overcooked and the crabmeat was tough.
