4 SERVINGS

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
3 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds Gai lan, tough stem ends trimmed
3 tablespoons Rice wine or dry white wine
2 tablespoons Tamari (soy sauce)

Method:
Heat a large pan or wok over high heat. When hot, add oil and swirl to coat bottom.

When oil is hot but not smoking, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Do not overcook the garlic.

Remove the garlic to paper towels to drain, but keep the oil in pan.

Add the gai lan and 2 tablespoons (28 ml) of the wine and cook, tossing and stirring to prevent scorching, until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the tarmari and the remaining wine; cook 1 minute.

Transfer to a warm serving platter and sprinkle with the reserved garlic.
