02Steps
  1. Wash and clean the seasonal vegetables. If using larger leafy greens like gai lan, cut them into manageable sizes.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and a few drops of cooking oil. Blanch the vegetables for 1-2 minutes until vibrant green and slightly tender. Remove and drain well.
  3. Heat cooking oil in a wok or pan over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic and ginger slices until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the superior broth. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Season the broth with oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and salt to taste. Stir well.
  6. Add the blanched vegetables to the simmering broth. Gently poach for another 1 minute, allowing them to absorb the broth's flavors.
  7. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving. Serve hot.
