Broccoli with dried scallops and crabstick sauce

This is for the adults but Mummy gave us some of the broccoli forets from it too. It acts as grass for our little lamb. :)



Ingredients:
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
1 big fresh broccoli
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of shaoxing wine
3 big dried scallops
3 sticks of crabstick, shred
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
Pepper

Method:
1. Put dried scallops in a bowl with water and steam it till becomes soft. Drain and shred the dried scallops and leave them and water aside.
2. Boil some water and blanch the broccoli, drain and leave broccoli aside.
3. Put some oil in a pan and add in garlic and fry till fragrant.
4. Pour the dried scallop and the water used to steam it into the pan. Add another 400ml of water and boil till dried scallops became softer. Add in the sugar, oyster sauce, shaoxing wine, pepper and stir well.
5. Mix the cornflour with little water (20ml) and pour slowly into the pan. Stir as you pour.
6. Bring the sauce to boil till it thickens and adds in the crabstick and cook for 1 min. (Do not cook the crabstick for too long else it'll turn very soft.)
7. Lay the broccoli on a plate and pour the sauce over and serve hot.
