Chinese Greens With Oyster Sauce

INGREDIENTS
2 pounds Chinese broccoli or other leafy greens
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1/2 cup oyster sauce
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Fried shallots for garnish, available at most Asian groceries

INSTRUCTIONS
If the Chinese broccoli stalks are large, slice the greens lengthwise from leaf to bottom of stem, as many cuts as necessary to get to an edible size.

Brief a large pot of water to a boil.

Meanwhile, make an ice bath by filling a bowl three-quarters of the way with half ice and half water. Keep away from the stove so the ice bath doesn't melt.

Once the water is boiling, add the greens and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until bright vibrant green. Using tongs, transfer to the ice bath. Let sit for 30 seconds more before draining and transferring to a clean bowl.

Drizzle the greens with the toasted sesame oil and oyster sauce and toss to coat. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fried shallots and serve.
