> Broccoli Stir Fry with Ginger Sesame:

>

> INGREDIENTS:

>

> 1 Tbsp sesame seeds

> 1/2 cup vegetable stock

> 1 Tbsp soy sauce (use wheat-free soy sauce for gluten-free option)

> 1 Tbsp dark sesame oil

> Peanut, canola, or grapeseed oil, or some other high smoke-point cooking oil

> 1 pound broccoli florets, rinsed, patted dry, cut into bite-sized pieces

> 2 cloves of garlic, minced (about 1 Tbsp)*often I like more* )

> 1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger

> Method

> 1 Toast the sesame seeds by first heating a small, stick-free sauté pan on

medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and jiggle the pan so they spread out in a

single layer. Let them cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally, about

3-5 minutes. Do not walk away from them while cooking, as once they start to

brown they can easily burn. Once lightly toasted remove from heat and put into a

small bowl, set aside.

bowl, set aside.

> 3 Heat 1 Tbsp of peanut (or canola or grapseed) oil in a large, covered sauté

pan on medium high heat. Add the broccoli florets, stir to coat the florets with

the oil, Sauté for about a minute. Clear a space in the middle of the broccoli

and add the ginger and garlic. Add a little more oil to the ginger and garlic

(about a teaspoon) and sauté for half a minute, stirring just the garlic and

ginger, until fragrant. Then stir the garlic and ginger in with the broccoli.

> 4 Add the vegetable stock mixture to the pan. Bring to a simmer, reduce the

heat and cover. Let cook for 2-3 minutes, until broccoli is still firm, but can

be pierced with a fork. Remove from heat. Remove broccoli with a slotted spoon

to a bowl. Return pan to heat, increase heat to high and boil down the liquid

until just a couple tablespoons remain. Turn off heat, return broccoli to the

pan, add the toasted sesame seeds, toss with the liquid. Put into a serving

bowl.
