Almost Beef with Broccoli

[Guest guest]

1 1/2 pounds broccoli

2 Tablespoons cornstarch

2 Tablespoons cold water

1/4 cup vegetable oil

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (not too thin)

1 medium onion, sliced thin

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or crushed

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup vegetable broth

2 Tablespoons soy sauce

 

Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces (about one inch). I don't use

the stems, they are too thick. But if you wanted to use them you could

cut them lengthwise.

 

Mix cornstarch and water.

 

Heat oil in skillet (or wok) until hot. Cook and stir mushrooms, onion

and garlic in oil until tender. Remove the mixture, set aside and

stir-fry broccoli with salt for 3 minutes. Stir in broth and soy

sauce. Heat to boiling and then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 6

minutes, then add the mushrooms, onion and garlic that you had set aside.

 

Heat to boiling, stir in cornstarch mixture. Continually stir while

cooking until mixture thickens.

 

Makes 6 servings.
