Yield Serves 4 as part of a multicourse meal

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 medium stalks Chinese broccoli (about 12 ounces)
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon ginger juice
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 slices ginger

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the broccoli stalks in half lengthwise if more than 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the stalks and leaves into 2-inch-long pieces, keeping the stalk ends separate from the leaves. In a small bowl combine the broth, rice wine, ginger juice, cornstarch, salt, and sugar.
  • 2. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in the oil, add the ginger, and stir-fry 10 seconds or until the ginger is fragrant. Add only the broccoli stalks and stir-fry 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the stalks are bright green. Add the leaves and stir-fry 1 minute until the leaves are just limp. Stir the broth mixture and swirl it into the wok. Stir-fry 1 minute or until the sauce has thickened slightly and lightly coats the vegetables.

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup Water
1/2 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
Juice of a lemon or lime
2 Thai chiles, stemmed and minced
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 pound Chinese broccoli
salt
Canola oil (optional for blanching)
Oyster sauce for serving

Steps:

  • To soft cook the egg: in a small saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Using a ladle or slotted spoon, lower and egg into the water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove the egg and place in a bowl of cold water to make it easier to handle. To make the flavored fish sauce: Combine sugar and water until sugar is dissolved. Add fish sauce, vinegar and lemon juice. Taste to adjust the flavors. Add chiles and garlic. Crack and peel the eggs and pour about ½ cup of flavored fish sauce over the eggs.
  • Blanch broccoli by placing it in a pot of salted simmering water (you can add a few tablespoons of oil to the water for added flavor). Cook for several minutes until the stems are "al-dente". Drain and serve immediately with egg dipping sauce and oyster sauce on the side.
