My Go-To Side: Gai Lan Oyster Sauce Stir-Fry Recipe (Chinese Broccoli)

Рет қаралды 525,401

Күн бұрын

Could greens really be this good?? Every time I eat this dish I am surprised how much I am enjoying a plate of green vegetables. The combination of gai lan (aka Chinese broccoli) and savoury oyster sauce is a match made in heaven and a classic for a reason.
You might be familiar with a Chinese restaurant dish with steamed long stems of gai lan with oyster sauce drizzled on top, and this is a similar idea except BETTER! It's all cut up so you don't have to try to eat whole stems of gai lan and trying to be graceful about it, and because it's stir-fried, the flavours of the sauce are mingled with the vegetables, not the mention the soft, chunky garlic pieces are the cherry on a sundae!

Gai lan with oyster sauce was one of my mother's go-tos when I was growing up. Any time she was in a hurry or hard-pressed to come up with an impressive side, out this would come. I enjoyed veg but wasn't a huge fan of leafy greens was a kid- but I LOVED this, and I was even more impressed when I eventually noticed how quickly she threw this together. The rest of dinner would be already plated and ready to go, I'd get called down to eat, and in just a few minutes before I even finished setting the table with chopsticks and napkins, the finished gai lan just suddenly appeared. Thank you for bringing me this very fond reminder of my childhood!

This was FANTASTIC! I made this for my in-laws, who are not very familiar with Asian food, and they LOVED it! My father-in-law does not like broccoli but said this was the best "broccoli" he's ever had and had seconds. I love your recipes and videos. You make Asian cooking very easy! Thank you!

I love your tips & tricks! I've been making this dish for years but I have never cut it on the bias. You set up your fans for success with details like the gentle sizzle for the garlic b and separating the stems from the leaves. Thank you!

@gloriawee661 2 жыл бұрын

Guys, if you catch yourself wondering why she's spending so much time talking in detail about the cutting technique, it's because it MATTERS. It's exactly why most Asian restaurants in America don't make Kai lan taste as good as Asia, as they typically serve u the entire vegetable.

@1gx619 9 ай бұрын

I was wondering about that. Now I hope I can actually find this in my local Asian market. Thank you🙏🏻

I remember my mom making this when I was little. She added a splash of xiaoxing wine to get rid of the slight bitterness the vegetable has so that we kids would enjoy eating it more.

Gai Lan is wonderful because it lasts a long time in the fridge. It's so crunchy and fresh. I also love that you didn't peel the stems. Great recipe Pai.

It was delicious just the same. I added a teaspoon of Shaoxing wine to the sauce. Thanks for reminding me of this recipe.

What a coincidence. My mom made this and I'd just eaten it before watching your video! My mom put crispy pork (moo krob) in hers. My favorite version is with salted fish (pla kem), the funky smell just does it for me. I normally hate veggies but I can eat a bucket of this with rice. Best vegetable dish ever.

Here in Malaysia, we also call it "kai lan", we also usually stir fry this with oyster sauce and salted fish. we call it "kailan ikan masin", (Kai lan with salted fish)... Really really good with rice, omelette and sambal... 😋😋

Pailin - I have been watching your videos for a long time. My wife and I love your cookbook. I just had to chuckle because at around 11:00 minutes on the video, your Canadian accent started to really come thru....yes my dear, you do have a Canadian accent ; - ) Also - thank you sooo much for your attention to detail - I know it is sometimes difficult to draw a balance of how much energy one needs to extend on the little things or differentiating the difference between what is important, and not so much. Your balance and the information you share and teach are perfect and much appreciated. Thank you soo much for sharing your passion. You are a fantastic chef and continue to produce one of the best cooking channels on KZfaq!

My grandma was Chinese so I grew up eating this all the time, I wish mainstream grocery stores carried it so I could cook it more often. There's some Asian groceries around that carry it but they have such a small selection of everything else, I'm too lazy to make multiple shopping trips to get everything I need. I still remember my grandma convincing me to try it because it prevents cancer, then again that's how she got me to try pretty much any new Chinese food, it apparently all prevents cancer.
