Vegetarian Recipe - Chinese style broccoli

You will need:

1 large size broccoli
1 teaspoon oil
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoon cornflour
Salt to taste

Cut the flower heads from broccoli stems. Peel the stem and slice into bite size pieces. Boil a small amount of lightly salted water in a saucepan and drop in stems. When water starts to boil, add the florets. Cook for 1 minute or until the bright green. Lift out the broccoli with a slotted spoon. Reserve 1/2 cup of water.

In a wok, heat oil, stir fry ginger for 1/2 minute. Add oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar & reserved water & bring to boil. Blend cornflour with 1 teaspoon of cold water & combine with the boiling sauce. Let the sauce thicken. Toss in broccoli pieces and coat with the sauce.

Serve hot over a bed of Jasmine rice.
