Chinese Broccoli with Chinese Sausage (Gai Lan voi Lap Suong)

I found this recipe online and tried it out. It's a nice, simple vegetable side dish that can supplement a variety of main courses. Totally yummy and ready in less than 20 minutes! Ingredients: 2 Chinese pork sausage (sliced into 1/4 inches) 1 tablespoon oil 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2-3 slices peeled fresh ginger, finely chopped (optional) 10 stalks Chinese brocoli (gai lan), chopped into 2.5 cm pieces  1 teaspoon sugar  Hot water, as needed Fish sauce to taste 1. Heat pan over medium-heat, add (very little) oil, garlic, ginger, and chinese sausages. Pan fry until chinese sausages are slightly browned and ginger and garlic are aromatic (about 2-3 minutes).  2. Add broccoli and sugar until soft, about 3-4 minutes.  3. Add enough hot water to cover 1/3 of ingredients. Cover pan with lid and simmer for 2 minutes.  3. Season with fish sauce to taste. Serve.
