Chinese Recipe : Gailan with Barbecue Pork

Ingredients:

• 1 LB. Gai Lan, When picking Gai Lan look at the bottom of the stems to make sure they are not dried out which means that it has been sitting for awhile. If the tops are OK then cut the stems and place in water like a flower. Place in water for at least 1 hr. before use. It will absorb the water and refresh. Also look for small stems. The taste is much better.
• 4 oz. good BBQ Pork (home made), I like to use pork shoulder for making the BBQ Pork. Cut strips from the shoulder it has more fat then using the loin. You need the balance of fat to muscle.
• 1/4 Cup good Chicken stock.
• 2 Tbsp. Shao Hsing wine
• 3 Tbsp. Oyster Sauce
• 6 slices of Pickled Ginger
• 1 small clove of Garlic.
• Peanut Oil
• Sesame Oil (use only the best Quality Oil)
• 1 Tbsp corn starch mixed in 2 tbsp cold stock

Prep: Cut Gai Lan into 3 inch lengths, Blanch in boiling water for 1 Min. Plunge into Ice water bath. When cool drain and dry. Slice BBQ Pork into coins.
