Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli) and Beef with Fried Spring Roll






Sorry for the blurry pictures, I took them not Mandi, and well I do not know my way around her camera!

So I had gai lan sometime ago and I really was impressed with the flavor and freshness of the green! As usual I put my own twist to it. I hope you will enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 lb gai lan (chinese broccoli)
14 oz thinly sliced flank steak
2 sliced red bell peppers
5 diced garlic cloves
1.5 Tbsp oyster sauce
1.5 Tbsp light soy sauce
5 Tbsp wild flower honey
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup Thai basil leaves
3 cups cooked jasmine rice
2 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 Tbsp sirarcha hot sauce
1/4 cup water

Step 1
Thaw and thinly slice flank steak, place in bowl with oyster sauce, honey, soy sauce, hot sauce, and water mix well, let marinate for 30 minutes while you cook the gai lan.

Step 2
Rinse and cut the ends off the gai lan.

Step 3
In a saute pan add oils and saute garlic and green onions for 2-3 minutes. Add marinated beef to hot saute pan and sear beef. Add bell peppers and let reduce until liquid has thickened but be careful not to burn the sugars in the honey!

Step 4
Add rice to beef and brown a bit, serve hot over the gai lan

1 head chopped napa cabbage
1 bag presliced carrots
spring roll wrappers
Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce
