Steamed Gai-lan (Chinese Broccoli) with Fried Shallot,Garlic,Soy Sauce and Oyster Sauce

Gai-lan or Chinese Broccoli is a very common vegetable consume daily by many Chinese or Asian..This vegetable is available in any Asian market in NYC.It's flavor is very similar to a regular broccoli, but slightly bit bitter.The best way to cook this vegetable is stir-fry or steamed.For me, I like to add plenty of fried garlic and fried shallot on the top and oyster sauce and Chinese wine as the gravy..This vegetable dish is easy and simple to cook yet healthy and delicious!!
