芥兰 (Chinese Broccoli)

I love this dish! We can’t get 芥兰 here (Asian markets do not exist within a 2 hour radius of here), but Kosina went home several weekends ago and aside from all the food her parents gave her to bring back, she also stopped by Andrea’s parents’ place (and they essentially compounded the amount of food that she brought back). This basically equates to happy times for everyone. :D The sugar was added since 芥兰 is normally kinda bitter on its own.

1. Heat a wok/frying pan over medium high heat and add 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
