If you’ve ever brunched on yum cha, you’ve probably eaten gai lan – and loved it; stir-fried or steamed then splashed with a little sesame oil and oyster sauce, This deliciously crunchy vegetable is the perfect accompaniment to our crispy-skinned chicken.

gai lan is wilted.
4.Meanwhile, combine carrot, sprouts, coriander, onion and juice in a small bowl.
