Don't let the oyster sauce scare you away. It provides a wonderful favor profile with the ginger and red chile pepper.

Serves 4
Prep time: 6 minutes
Total time: 14 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound broccoli floret, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chicken stock
  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 small red chile, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup water chestnuts

    Ingredients:

    In a small bowl, stir together the stock and cornstarch until the cornstarch dissolves. Add the oyster sauce and toasted sesame oil and stir to blend.
    Heat wok over high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir fry for about 15 seconds to release the garlic's fragrance. Add the broccoli and water chestnuts and stir fry until crisp tender. Add water if needed. Add the oyster sauce mixture and stir fry about 30 seconds to allow to thicken. Transfer to a warm platter and serve.
