Broccoli With Oyster Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound broccoli flowerets
  • Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 4 teaspoons water
  • 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds

Preparation:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, until it is tender but still crisp. Remove from the saucepan, plunge briefly into ice cold water, and drain.

In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, granulated sugar, sesame oil to a boil. Add salt to taste. Add the cornstarch and water slurry, stirring to thicken.

Pour the sauce over the blanched broccoli. Serve hot, garnished with the sesame seeds.
