Chinese Vegetables

JustJanS's Note:

I made these last night to go with a duck curry. I used a bunch of asparagus, two bunches of baby bok choy quartered, and a bunch of broccolini. You can also use choy sum or gai larn or any combination of all the above. I didn't know the weight of the veg, so I doubled the sauce to be sure I had enough. This is the original recipe. Cut different veg in half or thirds so they are roughly equal lengths. Remember an Aus tablespoon is 4 teaspoons.
