Chinese broccoli and garlic stir-fry recipe
- Cuisine: Modern Australian
- Serves 4
These greens are almost obligatory when we serve Asian dishes. Sometimes we use baby bok choy, sometimes Chinese cabbage, but mostly it’s gai laan (Chinese broccoli) because it cooks so brilliantly.
Ingredients
1 bunch gai laanOil for cooking
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsp grated ginger
125 ml (1/2 cup) chicken stock
1–2 tbsp soy sauce
Preparation
Wash the gai laan well, taking care to remove all dirt. Discard any big or old leaves. Thinly slice the stems; on the angle is best.Heat a wok over a high heat. Add a splash of oil, the garlic and ginger and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring often, making sure the garlic doesn’t burn.
Add the gai laan and toss for 1–2 minutes. Add the stock and cover with a lid. Cook for 3–4 minutes, tossing occasionally to ensure the greens cook evenly. Remove the lid and season with soy sauce.
Spoon the gai laan and juices onto a platter.

Making a cartouche
A cartouche is a circle of baking paper placed on top of a dish to prevent it forming a skin or drying out. To make a cartouche take a square of baking paper slightly larger than your pan, fold in half and in half again, keep folding the same way so that one corner remains the centre point of the paper. When you have folded it over a few times cut off the edge to form a circle.
