Ingredients

1 pound Chinese broccoli
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon sesame oil (Optional)

Directions

Pour about 1 inch of water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Place Chinese broccoli in the saucepan and cover with the lid. Cook until stems are tender, 2 to 5 minutes. Use tongs to transfer to a plate.
Mix oyster sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil together in a bowl. Drizzle sauce over the cooked Chinese broccoli.

Cook's Notes:

When purchasing jiè-lán, choose stalks that are on the thinner side, preferably no larger than 3/4-inch. Cut any that are thicker than that lengthwise, while ensuring there are leaves on both sides.

If you wanted to make this as a stir-fry instead, you can use smashed garlic cloves and slices of fresh ginger.
