Gai Lan with Chicken and Salted Fish

• Gai Lan (1 bundle, also known as Chinese Broccoli)
• Chicken (3 drum sticks)
• Salted Fish (1 small piece)
• Garlic (a few cloves)
• Vegetable oil
• Chicken Bouillon Powder (1 tsp)
  
• Sesame Oil (few drops)
  
• Pepper (few dashes)
• Garlic Powder
  
• Soy Sauce (1 tbsp)
  
• Starch (1 tbsp)
  
• Cooking Wine (optional)

Remove the skin of 3 drumsticks and de-bone


The chicken, after skin & bone has been removed


Cut into bite sized pieces, then marinade with the chicken bouillon powder, sesame oil, a few dashes of pepper and garlic powder, soy sauce and starch


Next, chop the salted fish into pieces


remove the skins of the garlic


and give it a fine chop

Boil some water to blanch the gai lan. While the water is boiling, work on the gai lan

Cut of a little bit of the ends (cleaner that way) and remove pieces that are bad. If the gai lan is too stalky, you can split the piece into 2


Put in in boiling water with a little bit of oil (helps to keep the green color) for about 1-2 mins


Remove from water and set aside


Heat a little but of oil in the pan. The chicken goes in first. Let it cook for about 3-4 mins, then add the salted fish and garlic. Cook for another 1-2 mins or until you know for sure the chicken is cooked. At this point, you have the option of adding a little bit of cooking wine.


Add the gai lan back in and give it a good stir. Now, you can choose to season it a little more with salt and pepper but the salted fish contributes a lot to the flavor already.


Voila and enjoy!
