Yum Cha Gai Lan
Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce
~~~ Ingredients ~~~
1 bunch Gai Lan
Sesame seeds to garnish

SAUCE
1 tsp corn flour
6 tbsp water
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp tamari or soy sauce
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (substitute mirin or dry sherry)
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil (peanut or coconut)
1/2 tsp sugar
1 clove Garlic - Russian, finely grated
1 tsp Ginger - Fresh, finely grated

~~~ Directions ~~~
Trim ends off the gai lan. If any stems are thick, cut them in half (you want all stems approximately the same width). Steam gai lan for 4 minutes or plunge into boiling water for 3-4 minutes and drain. The stem should be al dente. Stack the gai lan and cut into 10cm lengths, then place neatly on top of each other.
SAUCE
Combine water and corn flour in a small saucepan, mix to dissolve. Add the remaining ingredients. Over a medium heat bring to the boil. Boil for 30 seconds to allow to thicken, then remove from the stove. Drizzle over the gai lan, sprinkle over some sesame seeds and serve as a side dish.
