Ingredients
- 1 bunch gai laan
- vegetable oil for cooking
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp grated ginger
- 125 ml (½ cup) chicken stock
- 1-2 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
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 and serve.
