Broccoli Rabe in Oyster Sauce

Broccoli Rape is a common vegetable sell in Western supermarket.Rapini has many spiked leaves that surround a green bud which looks very similar to a small head of broccoli. There may be small yellow flowers blooming from the buds, which are edible.The flavor of rapini has been described as nutty, bitter, pungent, and "an acquired taste". It's also similar with "kai lan".But Chinese or Asian don't use Broccoli Rape in their cuisine.I saw Broccoli Rape on sale at $0.99 a pound and grab 2 bundles.Usually this vegetable are pricey if it's not on sale or seasonal.Well,this time I use the simplest method to cook this vegetable.Just blanched and pour some oyster sauce and soy sauce onto it.Yummy and refreshing!!
