Guys, if you catch yourself wondering why she's spending so much time talking in detail about the cutting technique, it's because it MATTERS. It's exactly why most Asian restaurants in America don't make Kai lan taste as good as Asia, as they typically serve u the entire vegetable.
This was FANTASTIC! I made this for my in-laws, who are not very familiar with Asian food, and they LOVED it! My father-in-law does not like broccoli but said this was the best "broccoli" he's ever had and had seconds. I love your recipes and videos. You make Asian cooking very easy! Thank you!
Gai lan with oyster sauce was one of my mother's go-tos when I was growing up. Any time she was in a hurry or hard-pressed to come up with an impressive side, out this would come. I enjoyed veg but wasn't a huge fan of leafy greens was a kid- but I LOVED this, and I was even more impressed when I eventually noticed how quickly she threw this together. The rest of dinner would be already plated and ready to go, I'd get called down to eat, and in just a few minutes before I even finished setting the table with chopsticks and napkins, the finished gai lan just suddenly appeared. Thank you for bringing me this very fond reminder of my childhood!
Pailin - I have been watching your videos for a long time. My wife and I love your cookbook. I just had to chuckle because at around 11:00 minutes on the video, your Canadian accent started to really come thru....yes my dear, you do have a Canadian accent ; - ) Also - thank you sooo much for your attention to detail - I know it is sometimes difficult to draw a balance of how much energy one needs to extend on the little things or differentiating the difference between what is important, and not so much. Your balance and the information you share and teach are perfect and much appreciated. Thank you soo much for sharing your passion. You are a fantastic chef and continue to produce one of the best cooking channels on UA-cam!
I love your tips & tricks! I've been making this dish for years but I have never cut it on the bias. You set up your fans for success with details like the gentle sizzle for the garlic b and separating the stems from the leaves. Thank you!
I love these easy stir fry recipes. They are such time savers for a busy person. I’m always looking for simple tasty recipes that take no time at all to cook, I am so glad I chanced upon your channel. My family’s staple diet is rice so these dish go really well with our main meals.
Here in Malaysia, we also call it "kai lan", we also usually stir fry this with oyster sauce and salted fish. we call it "kailan ikan masin", (Kai lan with salted fish)... Really really good with rice, omelette and sambal... 😋😋
Gai Lan is wonderful because it lasts a long time in the fridge. It's so crunchy and fresh. I also love that you didn't peel the stems. Great recipe Pai.
I remember my mom making this when I was little. She added a splash of xiaoxing wine to get rid of the slight bitterness the vegetable has so that we kids would enjoy eating it more.
i went to a chinese restaurant yesterday and got gai lan with oyster sauce for the 1st time and i was looking for a good recipe but couldnt find one and i just saw this!!!!!!!!!! i also made ur hot thai chicken today and loved it! i have to try this soon i cant believe how perfect the timing is
This is one of my comfort food dishes. I can eat it all in one sitting (by my myself). I just made it tonight. My wife loves it too. I didn’t have gai lan but I had some Choy Sum. It was delicious just the same. I added a teaspoon of Shaoxing wine to the sauce. Thanks for reminding me of this recipe.
My grandma was Chinese so I grew up eating this all the time, I wish mainstream grocery stores carried it so I could cook it more often. There's some Asian groceries around that carry it but they have such a small selection of everything else, I'm too lazy to make multiple shopping trips to get everything I need. I still remember my grandma convincing me to try it because it prevents cancer, then again that's how she got me to try pretty much any new Chinese food, it apparently all prevents cancer.
@@gummydogs And eating custard gives you a runny nose. When we were kids, my brothers had a heap of these "theories" all aimed at putting me off my food so they could have my share. 👍😁
Had never been a fan of kai lan growing up because of its slightly bitter or medicinal taste. But got my mum to cook this dish tonight using the seasoning as stated in the recipe and really enjoyed the dish! This recipe is definitely a keeper and will be my go-to kai lan recipe in future! Thank you very much! 😊
What a coincidence. My mom made this and I'd just eaten it before watching your video! My mom put crispy pork (moo krob) in hers. My favorite version is with salted fish (pla kem), the funky smell just does it for me. I normally hate veggies but I can eat a bucket of this with rice. Best vegetable dish ever.
I just prepped it today n I second what you said,, it's absolutely one lip-smacking dish.. definitely made it to my top 3 thai dishes... totally in love with it.. thank you for sharing this recipe ❤❤❤
My family does the same but we add a protein. We cut slices of pork, beef, or Asian meatballs and fry till it's golden then add the garlic's and veggie and stir. The only season we add is oyster sauce and fermented soy beans.
Anything with garlic YUM! I would have to travel 90 miles one way to get Chinese Broccoli but I do have veggies, oyster sauce and of coarse garlic so this will be on the menu tonight using another vegetable. My mouth is watering at the thought. Thank you and I appreciate no loud music like some have no matter how good someone is loud music and I HAVE to turn it off or migraine time. It's morning and my mouth is watering for my vegetables tonight. New subscriber from Montana.
Wow. Just started see ur videos. Tried Broccoli recipe. As a Indian always wanted to try Thai / Chinese cooking. Found a right person Love from Singapore. ❤️
Thank you, great video and recipe! Just made some last night for dinner. The Gailan/Kailan came right out of my garden. I intend to stir fry them the same way with my Kale straight from my garden as well. It was 😋
I have always eaten the whole parts of a vegetable. Carrots with the roots and Broccoli is the same and this is about to become my favorite dish. Thank you.
For the chicken stock/broth this is when frozen (ice cube tray) chicken broth/stock cubes come in handy. I always freeze small bits of leftovers that way.
Wow! I just bought some gai lan from the store and before doing so I checked your old mixed veg stir-fry recipe. And now I have just come home from the shop and there is this new recipe! Thanks. I am overly excited.
@@PailinsKitchen Yep, it was and it was delicious. I made some extra for lunch today but it became my midnight snack. Now there are two large Japanese eggplants waiting for me in the fridge. And some prawns in the freezer.
I'm Chinese but I always separate the thick fibrous stems from the leaves of any vegetable. So kale, gai lan, broccoli, broccolini, even bok choy. I just prefer the stems to be cooked for a longer time so they get more tender, and then the leaves to still have a fresh crisp texture.
This is delicious! I love Chinese broccoli to start with, but the sauce makes it even better. Garlicky, savory, a touch sweet, with the freshness and crispness of the broccoli. I sauteed some diced chicken and mixed it in with the greens. Made a delicious healthy lunch.
I do not eat this enough in Thailand, in fact its only ever if the better half orders it when we are eating out sometimes. Now i am dialled in on this dish, can add it to my repertoire so thank you for this upload.
The combination of oyster sauce and soy sauce taste so good. Maybe better than using salt. Also, adding in more garlic does the work to perfection! Thank you for the tips!
I usually cut the lower leaves off, then blanche the stems for a minute before I add the leaves, drain, and drizzle with oyster sauce. We eat that 3-5 nights a week at my house.
In Cantonese cuisine, gai lan is also often stir-fried but with minced garlic. It's also great stir-fried with some pieces of protein, such as squid. And it will be cut up in smaller pieces. But, for steamed gai lan, i feel like I do eat the whole stems quite gracefully - the trick is to bite from the base. It is not rude in Chinese food to bite a piece of food that you are holding with chopsticks. Almost everything else is served in smaller pieces. Honestly if I'm making my own gai lan, I will go ahead and cut the steamed whole lined up stems across into three pieces together and many restaurants will too (so yes, then some pieces are just leaves and some just stems). If you don't cut it, each time you get a bit of each.
trilingual, Pailin🙋🙌 GREAT TALK 😁 GREATER FOOD😉 Pailin really takes time in Preparing her food, cooking well while explaining it same time thoroughly to her fan.
Your videos are so easy to watch. You present very well. And I have tried two of your recipes they both turned out super yummy! You are a treasure find!
Learned something more than cooking skills: most of people (including me) pronounce this veg as 'Jie Lan' in Chinese until I looked for it in dictionary; turns our I have been mis-pronouncing it in my entire life. It should be 'Gai Lan'! Thanks Pailin!
I just returned home after 6 months in Thailand over the winter, and discovered your channel. Pad kana nam man hoi is probably my most ordered dish when I'm away.... Hiw khao maaaaaaak after watching this, but it's almost midnight!! I'm going shopping for kale first thing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this. I asked my hubbie to buy me morning glory, but he found this which he thought was "interesting". Thing is, I've never cooked with Gai Lan before, so I really needed a recipe. It turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!
when i lived in chiang mai for a summer, this and kaho soi gai were my two ultimate favorite dishes. (although other faves include milky toast with pandan custard and those fried roti with sweetened condensed milk during the night market)
Good afternoon, I love watching you cook all those delicious recipes and, I enjoy eating Chinese cuisine and vegetables but, can you explain about the the pots and pans that is use and, why does the pots gets soooo (DIRTY) in the bottom of the pan doesn’t the food take burn please can you do an episode on Pots and Pans. Thank you!🙏....
Since I have no idea to get Chinese brokkoli from (have never seen it in a German Asia store), I substitute it with bok choy and add shiitake mushrooms (and a little bit of extra fish sauce). That's awesome vegetarian style or with meat of choice. 😋👍🏼
My local Walmart neighborhood market had gai lan for a few months. It always had limp stems and wilted leaves, so nobody bought it. It was also 3x the price as the Asian market. Honestly, I wouldn't mind paying extra if the vegetable was fresh.
Thank you. I just steam some two days ago what I do I peel the stem so they are not stringy and steam them with oyster sauce. I will definitely try stir fry next time.
@@PailinsKitchen thank you with all the recipe. I have used the trinity of the sauce with all my stir fry and fried rice. Thank you to all Filipino recipe .
Thank you for the lovely and simple recipe to make a delish Kai Lan. Tried it and it turned out yummy! I took your advise and added in a bit more garlic as I love having more of them too 😃
My mom always added ginger and a splash of rice wine, and used salt instead of soy sauce. And she would just drizzle the oyster sauce on top, so it was my job to mix it with the gai lan as a kid lol
I will be adding this to my veggie repertoire! I have seen this at the Asian supermarket I shop at, but I had no idea how to make it. Thank you for your videos. This will be on my grocery list next time. Have a great day.☺
Cooking is dangerous...I always burn myself. Always. I have scars on scars. I hope you are ok. I watched a Thai TV ad about eating seasonal vegetables because the others are toxic. And I thought "I want to cook Kwang Toong with oyster sauce. You never fail to bring the juice. I love you so much.
Hahaha...I always cook the leaf for a long time trying to soften it. It never work. When you said the longer you cook.....Now I know why my gailan is always chewy. Thank you
Guys, if you catch yourself wondering why she's spending so much time talking in detail about the cutting technique, it's because it MATTERS. It's exactly why most Asian restaurants in America don't make Kai lan taste as good as Asia, as they typically serve u the entire vegetable.
I was wondering about that. Now I hope I can actually find this in my local Asian market. Thank you🙏🏻

Hahahaha, the universal grandma argument: "Eat it. It's good for you."
Remember also that everything _causes_ cancer (according to mainstream fads, at least) 😂
Eating fish eyeballs improves your eyesight
@@gummydogs And eating custard gives you a runny nose. When we were kids, my brothers had a heap of these "theories" all aimed at putting me off my food so they could have my share. 👍😁
Try growing it. It’s easy to grow as are most Asian greens

Simple, healthy, and delicious. The ideal accompaniment to a meal and perfect for the home cook. Thank you.
I appreciate you going back to scoop out all the sauce. It’s precious !

I had this vegetable for the first time the other day. My Philippine sister-in-law fixed it for me and it was delicious!
Ljn
Wow. Just started see ur videos. Tried Broccoli recipe. As a Indian always wanted to try Thai / Chinese cooking. Found a right person
Love from Singapore. ❤️
I made THE best gai lan today thanks to you Pailin 😋 🙏🏻. Crunchy stems and not overcooked leaves, flavors just right 🥳
When I visit Thailand, one of my favourite meals is ผัดคะน้าหมูกรอบ, Chinese broccoli oyster sauce stir fry with crispy pork.
Thank you, great video and recipe! Just made some last night for dinner. The Gailan/Kailan came right out of my garden. I intend to stir fry them the same way with my Kale straight from my garden as well. It was 😋

I agree I shave the stems first, I’m Irish ☘️ born in USA married to a Chinese, but I do all the cooking, so I try to make Asian dishes each week.
I like to eat pat wun sen
This is delicious! I love Chinese broccoli to start with, but the sauce makes it even better. Garlicky, savory, a touch sweet, with the freshness and crispness of the broccoli. I sauteed some diced chicken and mixed it in with the greens. Made a delicious healthy lunch.
I like the stem cutting technique, particularly the sharp angle. It gives a better result than what I used to do.
คะน้าหมูกรอบ my favorite but love this on the side with หมูทอดกระเทียม.

Ha!!! I made this exact recipe but with baby bok choi for my boyfriend and he has become totally addicted to it. He loved it!!
I usually cut the lower leaves off, then blanche the stems for a minute before I add the leaves, drain, and drizzle with oyster sauce. We eat that 3-5 nights a week at my house.
I’ll try this after I go shopping at my international store. I forgot to tell you that “Mandy” from Souped Up Recipes, recommended your channel to me.
Cool - and thanks! :)
Thanks for sharing how this is to be cooked. I love these greens.
So used to eating it like a big leafy branch with oyster sauce on top or on the side. This is great! Thanks for the tip.

Preparing her food, cooking well while explaining it same time thoroughly to her fan.
Mine too. I mix it with every meat available in my fridge (even Ham works). I prefer mixing with prawns.. Superduper delicious!
I like to do this, but I fry the garlic in oil until brown and crispy, remove from pan and sprinkle it on top to add some textural contrast
Amazing you are vry detailed in the whole process of cooking especially for us the beginner, thanks much for sharing and your tutorial, 👏👍👌😃
Your videos are so easy to watch. You present very well. And I have tried two of your recipes they both turned out super yummy! You are a treasure find!
My fav veggie. Love adding it to fried rice with Chinese sausage.
So happy you have weekly videos again! Cheers!

I have a garden full of Chinese Broccoli. Can't wait to try this.
Being a Malaysian- born Chinese....This dish is typical of our ancestral dish menu.
Add abit of bawang goreng even better..ha ha
Not ori............
@@shariff786rsa try a bit of salted fish
@@shariff786rsa boleh gak tapi
agree with you about cutting up the vegetable. The restaurant always leave the whole stem & never provide knives, so annoying.
I love to watch you cooking, you are very lovely and so excited when you cook ... thsnks for all your gorgeous recipes
SAUCE
1 1/2 Tbsp Oyster sauce
1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1tbsp water
1/2 tspn sugar
1/4-1/2 tsp white pepper
Hi! As she mentions the recipe is linked below the video - hot-thai-kitchen.com/gai-lan-oyster-sauce/ Cheers! Adam

I found some in a Swedish Asian store and it was labelled Chinese Kale Shoots.
You can substitute it's hybrid (broccoli and Chinese broccoli), the broccolini.
This recipe is wonderful- it was an instant hit at our house. Thanks, Palin!
Made this tonight, such a simple and delicious way to eat some green leafy veg!! 🙏🏼 Thanks as always Pai!!
That looks delicious! How would you make it, if trying to make it vegetarian... as in no oyster sauce ....?
Hi! Info on substitutions is here hot-thai-kitchen.com/oyster-sauce-101/ Cheers! Adam
I like this girl and her videos, easy food and a easy pleasant presenter style.
Gailan is the best! I've never understood why this veg hasn't made its way into regular supermarkets.
My local Walmart neighborhood market had gai lan for a few months. It always had limp stems and wilted leaves, so nobody bought it. It was also 3x the price as the Asian market. Honestly, I wouldn't mind paying extra if the vegetable was fresh.
Don't think I'll ever reach my gai lan quota. Thanks for a great video. Te best I've seen on preparing gai lan.
Looks great. I'm growing some gai lan for the first time this year and I will try cooking it this way. I think it's probably ready to be picked now.
Also, the wok not needing high heat all the time is a great information.
I love this and I do almost the same thing with pak buung. And you are right, lots and lots of garlic.
Cambodian 🇰🇭 cook that way too
I made this again today. It's become my favorite vegetable dish.
I've learned so much from your channel! Thank you for sharing your recipes and I look forward to making this dish soon.
Me too
I wonder if I can do the same with Kale? If yes, which type of Kale would be best to use?
Thank you. I just steam some two days ago what I do I peel the stem so they are not stringy and steam them with oyster sauce. I will definitely try stir fry next time.
Yup if you slice the stems thinly like I did, they will not be chewy.

Love your videos...so real and your joy is contagious!💕
great simple recipe. i make this all the time. great with mushrooms too
You are the BEST! I love your recipes. You make my favorite type of food, approachable. Thank you, so very much!

This is my favorite veggie w beef and garlic
This dish is so simple yet so impressive when cooked well 👏
I love Gai Lan. So crispy and delicious. Nice raw too.
This looks so good!!! Makes me hungry. I'll definately try this!! Thanks
Cooking is dangerous...I always burn myself. Always. I have scars on scars. I hope you are ok.
I watched a Thai TV ad about eating seasonal vegetables because the others are toxic. And I thought "I want to cook Kwang Toong with oyster sauce. You never fail to bring the juice. I love you so much.
That looks so good! I loooove gai lan with oyster sauce as a side with crispy duck. 🥰🥰🥰
Hahaha...I always cook the leaf for a long time trying to soften it. It never work. When you said the longer you cook.....Now I know why my gailan is always chewy. Thank you
You're such a pro, love all the tips and ways to change the recipe such as pounding chilli first, thank you!!
