Broccoli with either Taukan or Dried Chinese Mushroom are normally served in Chinese restaurants, especially during 8 course meal. The secret of each Chef's recipe lies in the soup stock that they used in this dish. Normally, the Chef would also use this soup stock in other dishes like Sharkfin soup.
You can make similar stock in a simple way by boiling dried scallops, dried dace (Suppose to be dried sole. Thanks lena for highlighting it in her comment) and old chicken (ayam pencen) in water. Since a little of the soup stock is required in this dish, you can keep the rest for making very tasty and flavourful soup.
Ingredients
Broccoli, 1, cut into bite size
Carrot, 1 pc, cut into slices
Ginger, 5 slices
Shao Shing Chiew (Chinese Cooking Wine), 1 teaspoon
Light soya sauce, 1 tablespoon
Dark soya sauce, a few drops
Pepper, a dash
Soup Stock, desired amount
Salt to taste
Corn flour and water mixture to thicken the gravy
Garlic, 5 cloves, chopped finely
Sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon
Prawns, 5 pcs
Heat up wok and put in a little vegetable oil. Saute garlic until fragrant. Put garlic aside. Boil broccoli in hot hot water until you notice that the colour changes. Drain away excess water and put brocolli aside.
Heat up wok and pour in some vegetable oil. Fry ginger until fragrant and add in the sliced carrot. Put in the broccoli, pepper, sesame oil, light soya sauce, dark soya sauce, shao shing chiew and prawns. Stir fry the mixture for a short while. Add in soup stock and corn flour to thicken the gravy. Add salt to taste. Garnish with crispy fried garlic before serving.
Note : You can also add Taukan (Wet beancurd blocks) or Dried Chinese Mushroom to this dish.

Simple yet delicious! Yeah, I'd take dried dace and dried shrimp if u didn't mention it, lol!
we cook this quite often at home, at least once a week or any special festival we see this dish too.
Hello Pete,
Not sure whether I ate similar dish before. But I just love brocolli with Oyster sauce.
Pete, brocolli is standard item in my home. We do both Asian and Western style of cooking with it. Broccoli is high in vitamin C and fiber. What we like the most is, it contains potent anti-cancer properties.
My homemade chinese food never looks like it does in the restaurant, but this does. Great job!
Broccoli is somethign we love ordering and cooking here at home too.
How are you pete? I have been so busy with my boy and work so no time to really blog anymore
My mom love this dish so as I^^
I guess the soup stock made up of dried scallop, ayam pencen and water is also known as 'superior stock' that I see in some magazine-recipe books for cooking shark fin's soup, right? The only short-sighted thing about that magazine-recipe book is it never mention how to make the superior soup and just assume that people know what it's made of...sigh! Thanks, Pete, for sharing about this. :-) Unfortunately, I can't cook broccoli at home becos my husband has gout and broccoli has been known to cause high uric acid level in such patients.
The broccoli looks so good here!!

Brocolli is one of the best vegetables because it has anti-oxidants in them. I love this way of serving it too. No need for any other side dish with fragrant white rice! Healthy and yummy!
I know some of the restaurant use good "Zin Hua " ham to make the stock!
Braised Broccoli is a Chinese dish that I like, broccoli dish is delicious and has a good nutrition to maintain health.
