Sooo delicious! I am sure this would be a great side dish, but I subbed half pound of ground turkey for 1 bunch of the broccolini to make this a meal, and it was fantastic. I also used 1/2-1 tablespoon peanut oil to stir fry, and a tablespoon of sweet chili sauce. I can't wait to use this with other meats and veggies (I think carrots, celery, water chestnuts and broccoli would all be good). You could even throw in some cashews. The base sauce/aromatics is just that good, you could pair it with anything.

So quick and easy to bring together, the only change I made was to stir fry my broccolini whole and served it with vegie pack fried rice and recipe #185971 and was thoroughly enjoyed by the 3 of us (I used 1 1/2 bunches of broccolini and doubled the other ingredients) thank you Bolistoli made of Best of 2013 tag game.

Loved this! Quick and easy to prepare, and the taste was exceptional! My biggest disappointment was that I didn't make this when I had daylight hours to get a good picture. This is so beautiful and such a vibrant green color. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing! Made for Best of 2013 Tag game.
