Chinese Broccoli in Oyster Sauce
July 29, 2005
I have only made this once, earlier this week. But it was really good and will be made again many many times I'm sure.
Here is the recipe, you could subsitute any asian green and the sauce would probably go nicely with other vegetables, too. And, now that I mention that - It'd be a lovely stir fry sauce with chicken or beef and vegetables, and or noodles and rice.
And here is the recipe paraphrased for my own quick reference (and with my modification of adding cornflour)
Oyster Sauce
Add 2 tablespoons heated chicken stock to 1 teaspoon of cornflour and stir vigorously with a fork to combine. Add to this 1 tablespoon of sherry, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, half a teaspoon of sugar and a splash of sesame oil.
Bring the mix to a boil and let simmer until it reaches desired thickness, stirring frequently (probably about five minutes)
Prepare your veg
for chinese broccoli: plunge into boiling water to which you've added some salt and a dash of oil, bring back to the boil (if necessary) then leave with lid on and heat off for two minutes, and strain.
(Other vegetables you might like to steam, boil, or stir fry)
Add the veg to the pain with thickened sauce or if you prefer, serve the veg on a plate and pour the sauce over the top.
