Broccoli with Oyster Sauce

This is a very simple way to prepare green broccoli in outstanding colour. The authentic oyster sauce adds a special flavour to such a vegetable, making it most delicious in taste and very nutritious. An excellent dish for vegetarians.


1 lb fresh broccoli, cut into 2-inch lengths
1/4 tsp baking soda
few drops sesame oil
2 tbsp light soy sauce
4 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp peanut oil, boiled


Wash broccoli and split stem into 4 long sections.

Use high heat to boil about 8 cups of water in wok.

When water comes to a boil, add baking soda into water, then broccoli. Allow to boil for 1 minute.

While waiting, use a bowl to mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, peanut oil. Stir and keep warm in oven.

Drain broccoli and arrange lengthwise on a platter.

Drain again and make sure there is no more water in platter. Add sauce mixture gently on top of broccoli. Serve immediately.
