This recipe is wonderful! A friend made it for dinner one night and rattled off the recipe, which I promptly forgot. I was so interested because she mentioned that she cooks a lot of vegies this way now. When I got home, I knew that somebody would have posted it, so I checked and it was here so I made the dish for dinner tonight. It was simple to make and really only took 6 minutes! The broccoli is cooked through but still a bit crunchy and the flavor is wonderful! Thanks so much for posting this!

I couldn't believe how quick and easy this recipe is. I used the sesame seeds, and it added a nice touch. Everyone liked it. Next time I'll add about half the water. I had quite a bit left after boiling for three minutes and had to drain some before stir-frying the last minute. Thanks for sharing this technique. I'll make it again.
