Ingredients For garlicky coconut gai lan recipe

  • 3 Tbsp
    grapeseed oil
  • 1 Tbsp
    minced fresh garlic
  • 1 1/2 tsp
    finely chopped lemongrass (or same amount from a convenient tube found in the produce section of many grocery stores)
  • 5 c
    washed & dried chinese broccoli
  • 1/2 c
    coconut milk
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • crushed red pepper to taste

How To Make garlicky coconut gai lan recipe

  • 1
    Coat the bottom of a medium-sized sauté pan with grape seed oil and place it over medium-low heat.
  • 2
    Add the garlic and lemongrass and sauté until it's very aromatic and has softened a bit, about 2 minutes.
  • 3
    Turn the heat to medium-high and add the Chinese broccoli. Cook, stirring from time to time, until it's completely wilted and the bottom of the pan is becoming dry, about 10 minutes.
  • 4
    Pour in the coconut milk, stir, and gently cook until it has almost completely absorbed into the Chinese broccoli, about 2 minutes.
  • 5
    Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
