Cantonese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and a pinch of salt ((Optional))
• 400 grams broccoli (, cut into bite sized pieces)
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce ((or vegetarian oyster sauce))
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Steps

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and a spoonful of vegetable oil to the water, so the broccoli will retain its nice color through cooking. Add broccoli. Cook until soft. Strain and place on a plate. (*see footnote 1)

2. 2

   While boiling the water, combine 1/4 cup water, the oyster sauce, the soy sauce and the sugar into a small skillet. Cook over medium heat until almost boiling. Turn to low heat. Cook until the sauce reaches desired thickness.

3. 3

   Drizzle the sauce onto the broccoli right before serving.
