Stir-Fried Baby Kai Lan with Garlic and Oyster Sauce

A family recipe since March 2012

Bright, slightly bitter baby kai lan is mellowed by garlic and savory oyster sauce in a quick stir-fry that comes together in about 10 minutes. Serve it with steamed rice for an easy, satisfying side dish.

10 min total2 servings

Ingredients

  • Baby kai lan - 300 g
  • Garlic - 1 tbsp
  • Oyster sauce - 1 tbsp
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1Rinse the baby kai lan thoroughly and trim any tough stem ends; shake off or pat away excess water so the oil does not splatter.
  2. 2Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat, then add the vegetable oil and let it shimmer.
  3. 3Add the garlic (chopped) to the hot oil and sauté until it is light brown and fragrant, watching it closely so it does not burn.
  4. 4Add the baby kai lan to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, tossing constantly so the stems turn bright and the leaves wilt evenly.
  5. 5Once the leaves are cooked, add the oyster sauce and toss everything together until the sauce evenly coats the greens, then transfer to a serving plate and serve with rice.
  6. 6Optional: finish with a light drizzle of toasted sesame oil or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds before serving for extra aroma.
