Ingredients
1 bunch gai lan (Chinese broccoli), trimmed
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root or to taste
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook Chinese broccoli in boiling water, uncovered, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and place in a shallow bowl.
Whisk together hoisin sauce, sugar, soy sauce, cornstarch, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat until sauce is thickened and no longer cloudy, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour sauce over broccoli; toss to coat and serve.
