This is very much like the broccoli rice casserole served at lots of holiday meals, except it is much healthier and tastier! No cream of any thing soups involved, yet it still is very rich and creamy. I halved the recipe, and found that I needed a bit more broccoli, probably my fault in measuring. Might need to increase the broccoli a bit. I didn't add the soy sauce, I found it was already salty enough. This is a very yummy recipe that I'll make again.....a great twist on the traditional white sauce. Thanks for posting and sharing with us!

This was a very nice broccoli dish. I liked that the broccoli and sauce were layered and served over rice so that each person could determine their own proportion of broccoli to sauce to rice. The sauce was tasty and browned nicely, but it did need the soy sauce to pick up the flavor. Next time I might add the soy to the sauce before baking. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
