Chow Gai Laan Jade Green Broccoli
Adapted from a chinese cookbook by jim lee that was published around 1970. This is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks; i was introduced to it by friends who were chinese students i knew at university of virginia. The gai laan which the chinese eat is not actually broccoli, but broccoli is a good substitute which works well in america, where most of us don't have access to gai laan.
