This is how I'd make it:
Ingredients:
1 head fresh Broccoli - cut into bit size pieces
1/3-1/2 cup Tamari or Soy sauce (I like to use low salt ones)
1-2 tsp fresh grated ginger
4-8 cloves crushed garlic (I don't use a garlic press - instead I crush the
garlic between waxed papaer with a meat
tenderizer and then chop a little bit.)
1-2 tbs sugar
peanut oil
1/4 cup water with 1 tbs cornstarch for thickener (optional)
Crushed red pepper or chili paste to taste (optional)
Steamed/boiled Rice
Add around 3 tbs peanut oil to wok/skillet. Make sure oil is quite hot
before you put the broccoli in. Make sure you have a spatula ready (I
like to use a wooden one). Saute broccoli in hot oil stirring contstantly.
Broccoli will turn bright green very quickly. Add garlic and ginger and
toss around for a few seconds. Be careful because garlic burns easily.
Broccoli should be kind of "crunchy", but heated through. Next add tamari
or soy sauce and heat til it simmers - you may want to turn the heat down
to med-med/high at this point. Then add cornstarch mixture a little at a
time while stirring - sauce will thicken as it simmers. Then add sugar to
taste.
If sauce is too strong, add a little water to dilute.
Serve over rice
Bon Apetite!

| My methods of cooking have changed dramatically since marrying my
husband. Where I used to eat broccoli, spinach, etc., just steamed
with butter, salt and pepper... we now add a little more zest to those
greens!
After steaming your broccoli or spinach... move it to a frying pan with
hot olive oil and cloves of sliced garlic and fry! Whoah!
