Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons grapeseed oil or corn oil, divided
1 1/2 pounds broccolini, bottom 1 inch of stems trimmed
1/2 cup water, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
2 small dried red chiles (such as chiles de árbol), seeded, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add broccolini; sauté 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup water; cook, turning with tongs, until broccolini is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl and set aside.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until soft and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add chiles and garlic; stir 30 seconds. Add remaining 1/4 cup water, fish sauce, sugar, and pepper. Return broccolini to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
