You might have heard of Pak Choy or Bok Choy in Oyster Sauce as it is a popular Chinese vegetable dish, well for this post we will be using Kailan or what others call as Chinese broccoli. This vegetable dish is the South East Asian counterpart where it is popular within the Chinese communities in Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore. This vegetable is thick, flat, green leaves which have that nutty stem that has the flavours similar to broccoli with a hint of bitterness.
A very good side dish especially with roast chicken and pork, the nutty flavours of the vegetable goes well with the sweet and salty taste of the oyster sauce. Another simple dish to prepare which would not take much time and effort to prepare.
Ingredients
1 packet Kailan leaves (around 350 gms)
4 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp of sesame oil
3 tbsp of oyster sauce
1/2 tsp cornstarch
3 tbsp water

Red-haired and spirited German actress Kai Fischer (1934) has appeared in 54 films between 1955 and 2004. She was the naughty bad girl of the Wirtschaftwunder cinema, and also appeared in sexy roles in international productions, either as a prostitute or a gangster girl. Later she worked with famous directors as Wim Wenders, Rosa von Praunheim and Ingmar Bergman.
Kai Anne Inge Fischer was born in Halle, Germany (according to the German version of Wikipedia while the English version and IMDb mention Prague, Czechoslovakia, as her birthplace) in 1934. Fischer's family was forced to move to Munich in 1945. In the 1950s the young Kai Fischer (also credited as Kay Fischer) appeared in the cabaret Schwabinger Brettl without a stage training and also worked as a photo model and mannequin. In 1955, she entered the cinema. She initially played supporting roles in such films as the German-Austrian comedy Oh diese lieben Verwandten/Oh these dear relatives (Joe Stöckel, 1955) and Unternehmen Schlafsack/Operation Sleeping Bag (Arthur Maria Rabenalt, 1955). She had her first major role in the drama Die Ehe des Dr. med. Danwitz/The Marriage of Doctor Danwitz (Arthur Maria Rabenalt, 1956), starring Marianne Koch and Karlheinz Böhm. Very popular was the musical comedy Das Wirtshaus im Spessart/The Spessart Inn (Kurt Hoffmann, 1958), starring Liselotte Pulver and Carlos Thompson. In Italy, Fischer appeared in La ragazza della salina/Sand, Love and Salt (Frantisek Cáp, 1957) with Marcello Mastroianni, and in the comedy Tempi duri per i vampiri/Hard Times for Dracula (Steno, 1959) with Renato Rascel and Christopher Lee. Until the mid-1960s, Fischer often played sexy, bad girls in films. She was either a gangster bride, a criminal bar girl or a prostitute in such films as Für zwei Groschen Zärtlichkeit/Call Girls (Arthur Maria Rabenalt, 1957), the French drama Filles de nuit/Girls of the Night (Maurice Cloche, 1958) with Georges Marchal, Mädchen für die Mambo-Bar/$100 a Night (Wolfgang Glück, 1959) and the Edgar Wallace Krimi Zimmer 13/Room 13 (Harald Reinl, 1964), starring Joachim Fuchsberger.
From 1963 to 1965 Kai Fischer played the first female private detective of German television in the ZDF series Die Karte mit dem Luchskopf (Hermann Kugelstadt, 1963-1965). She also wrote the scripts for 13 episodes of the series. At times, she also worked internationally, like in the Jayne Mansfield vehicle Too Hot to Handle (Terence Young, 1960), The Hellfire Club (Robert S. Baker, Monty Berman, 1961) with Peter Cushing, and Escape from East Berlin (Robvert Siodmak,1962). In Italy, she was seen in Spaghetti Westerns like Le pistole non discutono/ Guns Don't Talk (Mario Caiano, 1964) starring Rod Cameron. Also in these films her erotic charisma was often used. She even made some soft sex films like Josefine Mutzenbacher (Kurt Nachmann, 1970). It was only in the 1970s that she was able to gradually free herself from her sexy image. She became well known for her role as dompteuse Tiger Lilli in the popular TV series Salto Mortale (Michael Braun, 1969-1972) starring Gustav Knuth. She also could be seen in episodes of Krimis like Der Kommissar/The Commissioner (1975) and Derrick (1978). She played a more serious role in the arthouse film Die Angst des Tormanns beim Elfmeter/The Fear of the Goal at the penalty (1972) by Wim Wenders. She also got a part in Ingmar Bergman’s film The Serpent's Egg (1977) with Liv Ullmann. Up until the end of the 1980s Kai Fischer played parts in film and television productions, including Lena Rais (Christian Rischert, 1979), and the romantic comedy Kassensturz/ Banks And Robbers (Rolf Silber, 1984). She also played stage roles, wrote books, and, under pseudonym, criminal novels. From 1984 on, Fischer worked as a businesswoman. Since then, she has only appeared in episodes of television series, such as Alte Gauner (1985), Der Fahnder (1986), Tatort (1988) and Liebesgeschichten/Love stories (1990). In 1970 she recorded an LP, Kai Fidelity with naughty songs. Kai Fischer stayed refreshingly naughty. Her last film appearances were in the Rosa von Praunheim epic Der Einstein des Sex (1999) about Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld founder of the First Institute of Sexual Sciences, and according to IMDb as a ward in the German prison drama Gefangen/Locked up (Jörg Andreas, 2004). The gay sex in the film wasn't simulated. Originally the film was shot and released as a hardcore adult video, released in the U.S. as In the Hole. However, this credit in IMDb probably refers to another Kai Fischer although a reviewer mentions that there were other professional, non-adult actors in the film.

Kai Kurzawa: „Wer gegen Alexeev besteht, schafft es überall“
Das Cruisergewicht hat sich aus Deutscher Sicht zu einer der aufregendsten Gewichtsklassen gemausert. Einer der Protagonisten an der Spitze bis 90,718 kg ist der Hamburger Kai Kurzawa. FIGOsport traf den Kämpfer in Berlin zwischen Leistungsdiagnostik und Grundlagentraining. Normalerweise ackert der 35Jährige in Hamburg unter Chefcoach Oktay Urkal, für wichtige Sponsorenverträge in der Hauptstadt konnte das Training bei Freunden aus der Amateurszene absolviert werden. „Ich komme gern hierher zurück. Meine gesamte Jugend habe ich beim Olympischen Boxen verbracht. Es war eine sehr gute und wilde Zeit. Auf mein gute Amateurausbildung kann ich nach 10 Jahren immer noch zurückgreifen. In vielen meiner Kämpfe war die variable Verfügbarkeit von Grundtechniken entscheidend“
Kurzawa begann seine Profilaufbahn bei Trainer Manfred Wolke in Frankfurt Oder. Sein damaliger Promoter Sauerland Event hielt große Stücke auf den Boxer, der damals noch im Halb-Schwergewicht kämpfte. Nach einem Ausflug ins Trainergeschäft steht er seit 2010 wieder voll im Training. „Bei der heutigen Leistungsanalyse habe ich meine alten Werte wieder eingeholt. So fit wie jetzt, war ich seit sieben Jahren nicht mehr“, freut sich der 1,87 Meter große Kämpfer.
Erst vor zwei Wochen stand er mit dem amtierenden WBC Weltmeister aus Polen, Krzystof Wlodarczyk, im Ring. „Ich hatte erst etwas Respekt. In Warschau war erst vieles fremd. Aber im Ring fühlte ich mich gleich zu Hause. Da war egal, dass mir ein amtierender Weltmeister eins auf die Hörner geben wollte. Ich hatte genug Luft und konnte konzentriert dazwischen gehauen.“ Mit seinem Hamburger Trainingspartner Alexander Alexeev hat Kurzawa einen besonders harten Brocken vorgesetzt bekommen. „Das hohe sportliche Niveau bei Coach Oktay Urkal war mit ein Grund für meine Vertragsunterzeichnung. Wer als Cruiser gegen Alexeev besteht, schafft es überall.“
Neben der sportlichen Entwicklung hat sich auch in den Ranglisten der Weltverbände viel getan. „Nach meiner zweijährigen Pause war ich aus allen Ranglisten gestrichen worden. Der Sieg über Armin Dollinger (21 Siege – 1 Niederlage) und der Gewinn des Deutschen Meistergürtels haben mich wieder zurück gebracht.“ Für die Zukunft ist mit Kurzawa ein Titelkampf nach Version der WBO geplant. „Es könnte ein Interkontinentaler Titel werden aber die genauen Einzelheiten stehen noch nicht fest. Hierbei vertraue ich auf meinen Promoter.“ Ein weiterer Titelgewinn brächte ihn in die Reichweite des Weltmeisters der WBO, Marco Huck. „Wir kennen uns noch von der gemeinsamen Zeit bei Sauerland Event. Er war aber in der Trainingsgruppe von Ulli Wegner in Berlin. Als er sich mit Wegner überwarf und zu Manfred Wolke nach Frankfurt Oder kam, war ich schon gegangen.“ Einen Kampf gegen Huck könnte sich Kurzawa gut vorstellen. „Er hat sehr viel Kraft und ist immer bestens vorbereitet. Aber boxerisch traue ich mir eine Herausforderung zu. Mir fehlt konditionell nur noch sehr wenig um über 12 Runden richtig reinhauen zu können. Die Chance auf einen Weltmeisterschaftskampf motiviert mich jeden Tag neu.“
