 CS>       1 ea Thin slice ginger
 CS>       2 ea Cloves garlic sliced thin
 CS>       1 lb Gai lan sliced diagonally

 CS>   This lovely and quick to cook recipe is easiest if you plan ahead and
 CS>   do most of the prep-work the day before.  You can make it same day if
 CS>   you like but it's easier to do it as a planned leftover for some of
 CS>   it.  On the day before I typed this we made a yellow rice by adding
 CS>   tumeric to serve with dinner.  I made extra (about 3 1/2 cups worth),
 CS>   I saved that for tonight and will fry it with 3TB butter for 'butter
Why You write it with CapsLk switched on, Carol      ^^? It's not canonical. 

 CS>   fried rice' as the base for the other stir fry.  I also cut the meat
 CS>   and started the marinade step.

 CS>   1.  Add Oyster sauce, Mirin, Tamari, Sugar and Cornstarch.  Stir until
 CS>   sugar is dissolved then pour over the prepared meat and refridgerate.

 CS>   2.  Add oil and garlic slivers and heat until the garlic if fragrent.
 CS>   Add remaining ingredents and proceed to toss it about until done.
 CS>   Serve over hot rice.

 CS>   Tip: I butter fry the rice at the same time in a second pan.
Compare first and second pans!

 CS>   Helpful hints.  Gai lan is Chinese broccoli
I'd like it.

 CS>  and it has leaves.  I
 CS>   save the Gai lan leaves for Dashi miso udon soup
I'd like it too.

 CS>  with Gai Lan leaves.
 CS>   Also using a deep sided flat Wok maks
And what is Wok maks, my dear long-distant friend?

 CS>  it easier stir fry things.  You
 CS>   can use sherry for the mirin and western type broccoli.
Why not?!
