1 Bunch Gai Lan, trimmed
2 Tbsp white sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
3 Tbsp hosing sauce
1 tsp minced fresh ginger root
2 cloves garlic
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the Chinese broccoli and cook uncovered until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, ginger, and garlic together in a small saucepan over medium heat until thickened and no longer cloudy, 5 to 7 minutes. Toss the broccoli in the sauce and serve.
* Play around w/ the amount of sugar to suit your taste
*You can also saute the Gai Lan, or substitute in regular broccoli
