Ginger Broccoli

Manami's Note:

Here chopped broccoli is quickly sauteed with ginger and fish sauce, a pungent Southeast Asian condiment & in this dish we used Thai Kitchen fish sauce, because it is lower in sodium. Serve alongside your favorite steamed dumplings or cold sesame noodles. EatingWell Magazine, October 07/07 issue.

Good flavor and easy to prepare. I did substitute soy sauce for the fish sauce. Thank you for the recipe. I served this side dish with Golden Five-Spice Sticky Chicken.

Great Southeast Asian dish. Perfect balance of flavors using authentic ingredients. Goes good with Thai fried rice and Thai thighs.
