Great recipe! Although I only went with the ingredients listed and steam cooked the broccoli in the 1/4 cup water first then mixed in the oyster sauce and other ingredients immediately after the broccoli was cooked and still in the wok.

Wonderful! This was loved by everyone. My BF said it was better than the Beef with Broccoli that he had for lunch from a chinese restraunt. Thanks for the recipe Kzim4!
