Gai-Lan commonly known as Chinese broccoli is a common vegetable dish you see in traditional Chinese restaurants. It is usually served with oyster sauce because the sweetness of the sauce complements the slight bitter taste of the leaves. Here in this recipe I have this really nutritious vegetable prepared in traditional Kerala cheera-thoran-style. \u00a0Although the stem of this vegetable is thick, it doesn\u2019t take much time to cook once it is chopped fine, with cooking time less than ~ 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
