Ingredients

500 g Chinese broccoli (gai lan)
1 tbsp Garlic-Infused Oil 15 mL
1 dried chili peppers, minced 0.4 g
1 tsp gingerroot, finely grated 4 g
1 tbsp miso (fermented soybean paste) 16 g
1 tsp wheat-free soy sauce 5 mL
2 tbsp water 30 mL
1/4 tsp sesame seed oil 1.25 mL

Before you start

You will need a wok or saute pan.

Method

  1. Cut the Chinese broccoli in half to separate the thick stems from the leaves. Mince the chili pepper. Set aside.
  2. Add about 2 cm of water to a wok, or saute pan, and bring to a simmer on medium heat. Layer in the broccoli stems at the bottom of the wok and layer the leaves on top of the stems. (So that the thick stems, which are closer to the bottom of the pan, will cook faster) Steam for 3 minutes. Lift the leaves to a serving plate, using tongs. Check the stems to make sure they are cooked - they should be easily pierced with a fork. Add the stems to the serving plate when they are done.
  3. Discard the remaining water in the wok and wipe it dry with a towel. Return the wok to the stove then add in the garlic-infused oil. Add chili pepper and grated ginger. Turn the heat to medium-low. After the oil begins shimmering, cook for another 15 seconds (taking care not to burn the aromatics). Stir in the miso, water, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Cook another 15 seconds.
  4. Pour the sauce over the Chinese broccoli and serve.

This was very bitter and salty. Even with following the instructions and putting it in the oven .. it was not cooked at end of cooking time. Miso was very pasty and clumpy.
