Dim Sum Style Gai-Lan (Chinese Broccoli) Recipe

"This tastes just like the Gai-Lan that my DBF and I get when we go to Dim Sum on Sundays. It is really easy to make at home. It is similar to regular broccoli but it is slightly milder and has broad flat leaves instead of florets. If you can't find Gai Lan, you can substitute broccolini. The baking soda helps the broccoli retain its green color while cooking."

Roasted Baby Broccoli with Toasted Almonds & Lemon

January 10, 2013 • 1 comment

Simply delicious: baby broccoli is terrific roasted

Though a quick steam in the microwave serves a purpose when it comes to my weeknight vegetable routine, sometimes I’m looking for a side dish with a bit more excitement. Vegetables take on unexpected flavors and textures when roasted in the oven, requiring only the simplest ingredients. The key lies in matching the appropriate oven temperature to the density of the vegetable. High temperatures are good for baking French fries. Lower temperatures work well for concentrating the juices of oven-cured tomatoes.

Baby broccoli with its hearty stems and airy buds falls in the middle. Baby broccoli evolved as a natural hybrid, not genetically modified, of broccoli and Chinese Kale, and is commonly found under the trademarked name Broccolini. I love the flavor, which is reminiscent of broccoli with notes of asparagus.
