This is really good- quick and easy too! I did make a few substitutions- I used water instead of broth, regular soy sauce, and used 1T each of oyster sauce and hoisin. I omitted the sake because I didn't have any. I added a dash of red pepper flakes for a little heat, though it's certainly not necessary- just personal preference. I add the garlic at the same time as the broccoli, because the first time I made this following the instructions, it was on the verge of burning. I also think next time I will try pre-steaming the broccoli just a little, because my son likes broccoli tender with a little crunch, and I had trouble getting it tender enough by stir frying alone. This is a great recipe that I will serve again and again- thank you for sharing it!

This has got to be my FAVORITE food of all time! I absolutely love this, as do my husband and 3 non-vegetable-eating boys ages 20 months, 4 and 6. I usually double this recipe in hopes of leftovers but it hasn't happened yet! A must try for all! I substitute rice wine for sake as that's what I usually have on hand.
