Chinese Broccoli

This vibrant Chinese broccoli recipe offers a delicious way to enjoy seasonal greens with a sophisticated twist. By steaming the stalks until just tender and finishing them with a fragrant velvet-textured sauce, you preserve the natural crunch and nutrients of the vegetable. The addition of aromatic Chinese five-spice powder and savoury soy sauce provides a deep, umami flavour that elevates this simple side dish into something truly special.

A versatile vegetarian dish, it works beautifully as an accompaniment to ginger-fused noodles or as a light lunch served alongside steamed jasmine rice. The crushed roasted nuts provide a satisfying textural contrast to the silky butter glaze, making it a healthy yet comforting addition to your midweek repertoire. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a quick, nutritious meal that doesn't compromise on flavour.
