As part of my Day 2, I made broccoli with oyster sauce! I have always loved cooking with oyster sauce so it's a staple at the kitchen. Anyway, here's a step by step guide on how to cook this very simple dish! I edited the photos a bit because I was using my E71 camera so they were a bit dark.
Get a whole head of garlic and mince it. I used to peel the garlic without crushing them but since I'm going to mince them anyway, I crushed away! Haha
Use a whole broccoli for this. Chop the stems thinly as well.
Wash the broccoli flowers with salt to get rid of unwanted insects that might be inside. Very useful advice from my mom!
On high heat, put approx. 1 tbsp. of oil. Add the garlic and brown them.
Add the stems first because they take longer to cook.
After around 40 seconds, add the broccoli flowers. Toss them a bit, making sure that the garlic is all over them.
Add some boiling water, around 1/4 cup. Make sure it's boiling water because if you put lukewarm water, it will cool the pan and it will take more time to heat up. Let it simmer for about a minute. Make sure you turn them around so they cook evenly.
Add 2 tbsp. of oyster sauce. Mix them well. Let it simmer again until the vegetables are fully cooked.
The finished product! Haha. Actually, if you can add cornstarch with water at the end, it would look better but since I can't have carbs today, I didn't put any anymore.
Enjoy!
