Very delicious and quick stir fry! I added 2 thai chilis but will add more next time for extra heat. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Made it tonight and loved it. I cooked the gai lan for 2 minutes instead of the recommended 45s because we like our veggies a little softer. Excellent!

Absolutely amazing! This has earned a permanent spot as our side dish during dinner at least once a week. A great way to enjoy a big plate of greens! Thank you Pailin. 😄

I had a big bunch of fresh green beans and wanted to find something different to do with them. I almost always have Thai chilis on hand, so this seemed worth a try. I similarly cut them on a long sharp bias, and otherwise followed this exactly. It might technically be a totally different dish, but it’s also my new hands-down favorite way to prepare green beans. They stole the meal! So, thank you!

Tonight I made it with chopped shallot instead of garlic. Walkin’ on the wild side -

I have been making a lot of this recipe because our local Thai store almost always has Gai Lan for sale and we have gotten fond of it. An easy, fun dish to make.
Eating well in Fort Wayne, IN😋

Had some gailan on hand and was going to steam w/oyster sauce on the side, but this was so much better! Served it along w/some homemade char siu and rice. Thx for sharing it.

Made this tonight over jasmine rice and it was AMAZING. So simple, yet so delicious. BOTH of my twins loved it. That almost never happens : )

Didn’t have all the ingredients on hand, so made this substituting bok choy, and then Golden Mountain sauce (for the soy sauce). Absolutely delicious!

"How do grazing animals... grow so big on only greens?"
They eat VAST amounts of them, spending most of their day eating. The cud is swallowed, fermented, regurgitated, swallowed again (depending on the animal this happens multiple times in their multiple stomachs) in order to extract the sparse amount of nutrients. Rabbits even eat their own faeces so as to extract all they can, since vegetation is so calorie poor.
Perhaps a bit of research wouldnt go amiss before posting misinformation.

This is the first time I have cooked a vegetable with the coarsely pounded shards of garlic. To be honest, I was afraid my partner would see them and be shocked. but cooked this way they are tender and sweet. Thanks again for another great cooking skill!

Made this last night and it came out TERRIFIC. Thanks for the tip on not overcooking the leaves!

I am going to make Pad Mama today, I was going to substitute the cabbage with Gai Lan. Will this recipe do well and add it at the very end of the Pad Mama process?

Hello Giselle,
I've made this with choy sum, bok choy, cima di rapa (a mediterranean member of the brassica family) and even broccoli florets with great success. Only with gai lan I have never made it. So, just go for it!

In reply to jon. You'll need to reheat it so it will be a more wilty and not as fresh, but will still taste fine.

I've made this plenty of times but wondered how it might hold up if made a day ahead.
