For years I used to make vegetables wrong. Overboiling, frying the hell out of it and even steaming it all wrong. But having lived in Hong Kong for a period of years I got an appreciation of the benefits of making vegetables perfectly so it tastes beautiful while losing very little of the nutrients. Take this Gai Lan also known as Chinese broccoli, which funnily enough originated in Europe. All you need is to immerse this in boiling hot water for three minutes are you are done. It comes out tasty, crunchy and with a bit Sesame oil it is fantastic. And it has plenty of fiber to feed your good gut bacteria. Did you know that good bacteria feeds on fiber while bad bacteria feeds on sugar?
