Step 1

Here's a brief overview of what we'll be doing and how to get the perfect texture:

Step 2

As always, my dad says to thoroughly wash our veggies.

Step 3

Next, well add olive oil and salt to the water.

Step 4

It is critical that our water starts boiling before we add the Chinese broccoli. We want to keep the cook time as short as possible.

Step 5

In total, once the wok comes to a boil again, we'll only need to cook our gailan for 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 6

Once 1 to 2 minutes are up, uncover the wok. Cut off a piece of stem and chew on it.

Step 7

Once you're happy with the texture, turn off the heat and transfer the gailan to a plate.
