"Adapted from a Chinese cookbook by Jim Lee that was published around 1970. This is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks; I was introduced to it by friends who were Chinese students I knew at University of Virginia. Gai laan (sometimes called "Chinese broccoli") is actually not the same plant as what Americans call broccoli, but broccoli is a good substitute which works well in this recipe for cooks who don't have access to gai laan."
