Directions

  1. Place tofu slices between layers of paper towels. Place a baking sheet over the tofu. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top (a container filled with water works well). Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes, drain and discard the accumulated liquid.

  2. Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar salt, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Whisk sauce until sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. Whisk 2 tablespoons water with cornstarch in a separate bowl to make a slurry.

  4. Heat peanut oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ginger and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add gailan, toss to evenly distribute ginger and garlic. Add water and cover, steam for about 2 minutes. Stir in the sauce, tossing quickly to coat. Reduce heat to medium, cook for 1 minute.

  5. Stir the slurry briefly, add to the gailan. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with sesame oil.

Recipe Note

Gailan is a great leafy green vegetable that makes for a great stir-fry. Made this for dinner and couldn't wait to have the leftovers the next day for lunch. Serve with rice or tossed with your favorite noodle. I'm not a vegetarian or anything, but like the value and ease of preparation of tofu in place of chicken.
