- Separate the leaves and stems of the gai lan; cut the stems into 2-inch lengths.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat for 3 or 4 minutes.
- Add the oil, wait a few seconds, then add the leaves of the greens and toss until they wilt, about 3 minutes; put on a platter. Add the stems, the garlic if you’re using it, and about 1/4 cup water. Toss until the stems are crisptender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove them and put on top of the greens. Top with oyster sauce and serve.
- Asian Greens with Thickened Soy Sauce.
- Instead of the oyster sauce, make a slurry by whisking 2 teaspoons cornstarch into 1/4 cup soy sauce; substitute this mixture for the oyster sauce.
