  • 3 tsp water
  • 1 tsp cornflour 
  • 12 stalks Chinese broccoli, cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2-3 cm piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
  • 3 cups cooked Jasmine rice, for serving
  • Salt, for boiling water
Marinade
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornflour
Marinating time: 30 minutes

Instructions

  1. To make the marinade, in a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornflour. Add beef strips and toss until completely coated. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.
  2.  
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, sugar, water, and remaining cornflour.

  5. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add broccoli to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes, or until al dente and colour is vibrant green. Strain broccoli and set aside.

  7. Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add ginger, garlic, and shallot, and cook 1-2 minutes. Add beef strips in marinade and cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip beef strips, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Once both sides of beef are slightly browned, add broccoli. Pour oyster sauce mixture over top, toss and cook for 2-3 minutes. Once sauce has thickened, remove from heat.
