This is a colorful, quick, and fiber-rich accompaniment to any Asian-style meal. Broccoli is a wonderful source of calcium. Pair it with brown rice and a side of crunchy, fresh vegetables like sugar snap peas or mung bean sprouts.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
1 teaspoon minced or grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
2 tablespoons Chinese black bean sauce
1 bunch broccoli
1 large onion, cut into 6 wedges and layers separated
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons dry sherry or nonalcoholic sweet wine
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1/2 cup cold water
Directions
Mash ginger and garlic together in a small bowl. Add black bean sauce and mix well. Set aside.
Divide broccoli florets into bite-size pieces. Peel and chop the stems into 1/2″ pieces and stir-fry with the florets and onion in a medium skillet over high heat. Add water, cover, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or just until the broccoli is crisp-tender (add a little more water if necessary).
Add the ginger mixture, sherry or wine, and cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce is thickened. Serve immediately.
