Instructions

1
Trim the tough bottom 1 inch from gai lan stems. If stems are thick, split lengthwise for even cooking. Rinse well.
2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch gai lan for 90 seconds until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately arrange on a serving platter.
3
Heat oil in a small skillet over high heat. Add garlic and stir-fry 30 seconds until golden and fragrant — watch carefully, it turns from golden to burned in seconds.
4
Add oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and water. Bring to a quick boil and stir for 30 seconds until slightly thickened.
5
Pour the garlic-oyster sauce over the blanched gai lan. Serve immediately alongside rice. This preparation showcases one of the most fundamental Cantonese cooking techniques: the simple but transformative garlic-oyster sauce.
