Since marrying a Chinese girl, I have come to know and love many Chinese dishes, but none compares to the Chinese broccoli drizzled in hoisin or oyster sauce. There’s nothing better to get your dark greens packed with vitamins and roughage so important for cancer-free colon. Here’s a recipe from Free Recipe Network.
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch Gai Lan (Chinese broccoli), trimmed
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add the Chinese broccoli and cook uncovered until just tender, about 4 minutes, or steam the Chinese broccoli in a bamboo steamer for 3 minutes.
- Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, ginger, and garlic together in a small saucepan over medium heat until thickened and no longer cloudy, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Toss the broccoli in the sauce and serve.

This looks delicious! But, with all the kindness I can muster — and just because we are living in such sensitive times, I’m sure you didn’t marry a girl. I’m positive you married a Woman. Thank you for the dish. Making it tomorrow for dinner after the Grammy’s! Gracias.
hahaha. yes a cute young-looking woman. she is now 51, four months older than me
You are quite the Asian cook from your post the last few weeks!
Sounds really good to me! However, when we make it we’ll leave out the ginger, because of my wife’s allergy to it.
😦
no ginger?
I’ll definitely try this! Ty
