Chinese broccoli and garlic stir-fry recipe
- Cuisine:
- 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
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 1 minute, 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.

Hot Tips
Sealing meat
Sealing meat does not actually help to keep the juices inside the meat, it does however add a great charred flavour and colour to the meat. Sear cuts of meat in a hot frying pan or roasting dish over medium to high heat.
