Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Rabbits and Chinese Broccoli

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's 'Rabbits' theme!  Here are my bunnies just in time for Spring!

For the dinner date I made some Chinese Broccoli using this recipe I found on Instagram.

1 bunch of chinese broccoli (gai lan).

2 tbs oil

water for boiling

Sauce:

1/2 c water, 1/2 tbs cornstarch, 2 cloves of garlic minced, 1 tsp sugar, 3 tbs oyster sauce

Make an incision into the thickest part of the broccoli stems to aid in softening them during blanching.  Bring enough water to cover the broccoli to a boil, add some oil.  Blanche the broccoli for about 3 minutes and set aside.  Mix the sauce ingredients and simmer 3-4 minutes.  Pour this sauce over the broccoli.
