Stir-fried Kai Lan with Lap Cheong

Kai Lan (Gai Lan) or Chinese broccoli is one of my favorite leafy vegetables.  The thick stems are crunchy and delicious.  I will normally just simple stir-fry it with chopped garlic and season with dashes of chicken stock granules.

Recently, I came across an online recipe from 'Janet's Home Cooking' and since I have leftover lap cheong (Chinese sausage) in my fridge, I decided to stir-fry it with lap cheong.  It's deliciously yummy ~ thumbs up!~

Ingredients:

4 stalks kai lan

1 piece lap cheong

3 cloves garlic (peeled and sliced)

Oyster sauce - for seasoning (to taste)

2-3 tbsp. water (add more if your prefers a bit more sauce)

1 1/2 tbsp. cooking oil


Methods:

  1. To prepare kai lan: washed, cut into bite-size pieces, separate leaves from stems, and set aside.
  2. To prepare lap cheong: peel off the casing, sliced and soak in hot water for about 2 minutes. This is to remove the saltiness.  Drain and set aside.
  3. In a heated wok, add cooking oil, saute garlic and add in the stem and lap cheong, and stir-fry for 2 minutes.  Then add the leaves and continue to stir to combine. Add in water and season with oyster sauce.  Once the kai lan is cooked, remove from heat onto a serving plate.
  4. Dinner is served!
I cooked this dish according to my own method as well as the seasoning.
