Tips

  • When cutting the gailan, separate the leaves and stems as they cook at different times.
  • If you don't have access to Chinese broccoli, Western broccoli or broccolini can be used.
  • Slice the gailan stems at an angle to get a bigger cut surface, which allows flavors to infuse and suppresses bitterness.
  • The sugar in the sauce helps to balance the bitter taste of gailan.
  • The cornstarch will thicken the sauce, ensuring the flavor clings to the vegetables.
