STIR-FRIED BROCCOLI IN OYSTER SAUCE
When I was growing up in Brooklyn, many of my friends had working parents who would leave them money to buy Chinese takeout for dinner. I would crave their chicken wings, plantains and chicken with broccoli, but my mother was less than happy with my junky leanings. So she decided to make better Chinese takeout food at home, which is how this simple broccoli dish came about. It's been a hit ever since. I never order chicken with broccoli at my local takeout anymore. (Chicken wings are a different story.) -Vivian Chan, Recipe Tester

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Trim the broccoli into florets and bite-size (1 1/2-inch) pieces of peeled stem. Add the broccoli to the pot and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Strain in a colander.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the garlic, ginger and jalapeno and cook until the garlic is golden and fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the broccoli, oyster sauce, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss to coat.
BROCCOLI WITH OYSTER SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Whisk together oil, oyster sauce and vinegar in a large bowl until evenly combined (the mixture will not emulsify). Add broccoli, sprinkle generously with pepper and toss well to evenly coat the broccoli in the sauce.
- Spread on a baking sheet and roast, stirring the broccoli halfway through, until tender and beginning to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
BROCCOLI AND MUSHROOMS IN OYSTER SAUCE
I like this best when made with fresh shiitake mushrooms, but regular button mushrooms are just fine too.

Steps:
- Clean broccoli.
- Trim off flowers into bite-size pieces, lightly peel broccoli stalks and slice into diagonal medallions.
- Heat wok on high. Add the oil and when the oil is hot add the broccoli, stir-fry rapidly until the broccoli is covered in oil.
- When the wok is no longer oily, add a splash of water or chicken stock and continue to fry, stirring constantly for 3 minutes, replenishing water/chicken stock whenever wok becomes dry.
- Toss in the prepared mushrooms and the garlic, stir, add half of the oyster sauce, stir, cover and simmer at medium heat two minutes.
