Chow Gai Laan (Jade Green Broccoli)

Adapted from a Chinese cookbook by Jim Lee that was published around 1970. This is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks; I was introduced to it by friends who were Chinese students I knew at University of Virginia. The gai laan which the Chinese eat is not actually broccoli, but broccoli is a good substitute which works well in America, where most of us don't have access to gai laan.

    This was a nice variation on broccoli. Easy and a vibrant green color. I added some toasted sesame seeds at the end.
