Blanched Gai Lan Dressed with Rice Wine And Oyster Sauce

I lived in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia for 3 years and one of my favorite dishes was Oyster Gai Lan, this is the closest recipe to the dish I was served in all three countries - although it was garnished with sauteed shallot and ginger.
