2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 bunch broccoli, cut into 1" florets, stems peeled and cut
into 1/4-inch thick slices (4 cups)
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1. In a large heavy skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add
almonds and cook until browned, about 1-2 minutes.
Add ginger and garlic and cook until aromatic, another
30 seconds.
2. Add broccoli to skillet and saut until browned in spots,
about 3 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, soy sauce and
vinegar. Bring to a boil, and cook until liquid has almost
evaporated and broccoli is crisp-tender, about 5 more
minutes. Drizzle in sesame oil and serve.
The ginger-garlic duo livens up the flavor of broccoli, and a
crunch of almonds adds the finishing touch.
