Wash and trim the chinese broccoli, cutting it into manageable pieces.

Prepare a sauce by mixing oyster sauce, soy sauce, and a splash of water in a bowl.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add the chinese broccoli to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

Pour the sauce over the broccoli and stir to coat evenly.

Add a pinch of red chili flakes for heat, if desired.

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry.

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet to thicken the sauce, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting flavors as needed.

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions before serving.
