Gai Lan (sometimes spelled as Kailan), aka Chinese broccoli, is the most popular vegetable in Cantonese cuisine. You have probably seen it many times at Asian markets, and today I will show you the easiest way to enjoy it.

It looks quite different from the Western broccoli—with long stems, bok choy like leaves, and small flower buds at the top. Its flavor is similar to regular broccoli but with a hint of bitterness and a sweet aftertaste. If you can’t find it, broccolini makes a great substitute.

Ingredients
400g / 14 oz of Chinese broccoli, AKA Gailan
