Is there a vegetable that you could eat a whole plate of with out even blinking? Chinese Broccoli with Garlic Oyster Sauce is that vegetable for The Hubby and I.
We rarely have Chinese broccoli at our house, but when I make a trip to the local Asian Super Market I always pick up a bundle for dinner. This is The Hubby’s all time favorite vegetable, so I like to surprise him every once and a while.
I wasn’t always the biggest fan of Chinese Broccoli, because it isn’t exactly like traditional broccoli. I love broccoli, just roasted in the oven. However, Chinese Broccoli doesn’t taste the best that way. The first night I threw together this recipe, we devoured the whole pound of broccoli between the two of us.
If you are looking to mix things up in the vegetable department, this recipe is a winner. Perfect to pair with steak, fish or chicken, and quinoa or rice.
Enjoy!

I’ve looked for that in the store, but can never find it. Guess that’s one of the downsides of living in the Midwest!
Where do you live Scott? I too live in the Midwest, I live in Minnesota and am able to find it at my local Asian Market. Do you have any Asian Markets near you?
