This is a great tasting, mild, Thai dish which will go well with a variety of Asian meals. Toasted garlic gives an amazing flavor to the broccoli, along with the fish sauce, lending a depth of flavor. I would serve this dish again as part of my Asian meals, as it is very versatile and tasty! Thanks, S'kat!

This was delicious! I must have dome something wrong, when I added the fish sauce to the oil it spattered like CRAZY and it smelled quite strong (as fish sauce does) Hubby hated the smell and would not try it, but it was actually the best tasting broccoli dish *I* have ever made. After cooking it did not smell either, but my family is super sensitive to smells. I added about a teaspoon of sesame oil to the sauce and a sprinkle of pepper flakes at the end. I will most definitely make it again, even if it is just for myself.

Delish! I made this recipe with soy sauce instead of fish sauce and instead of 2 teaspoons of sugar, I only use 1 teaspoon. **I also added a little bit of Chinese hot sauce (any brand would do) for extra flavor. It gives it a light spicy yummy taste. This is perfect for someone that has a hard time eating vegetables.
