Julies Broccoli with Garlic Sauce

[faunablues]

This was good, but I thought it was a tad too sweet. I might use half the sugar next time or more soy sauce next time. It makes lots of sauce, which is good for the rice

Nummy nummy! This was SO good! I added a little bit of cinnamon along with the sweetener - it was a flavor party!!!

This was really really good.  Just like the broccoli and garlic sauce I get at a local Chinese restaurant.  Next time I might cook the garlic sauce a little separately before I add it to the broccoli because I like my broccoli very crisp and the garlic really didn't have time to cook........but other than that, this was wonderful and pretty easy.  Oh and I like to add some carrots.  Yum.

I make this recipe all the time! Im obsessed with this, really. I now make the sauce in bigger batches and then freeze them so I can easily jus get it and make it in 10 minutes . The only thing I left out was the soy sauce, because I really try to avoid salty things if at all possible.

we loved this! i started to make the sauce and then realized i was out of broccoli! so i just fried up some tofu and made rice and enjoyed the yummy sauce!

Goodbye chinese takeout! This is my favorite Chinese dish and now I can make it at home, woohoo, and it's easy, cheaper, healthier, and quick. This tasted great with snow peas and green peppers along with the broccoli. Next time I'm going to make the sauce seperately and steam the veggies since I like them crispy and raw-ish, but it is awesome this way too.

I am glad you all like the receipe.  I sometimes add tofu or other vegetables as well.  Also for a stronger ginger taste you can grate an inch of fresh ginger instead of the powder.  Everyone whom I have made it for loves it.  It is a real kids pleaser too, even picky ones who don't like broccoli beg for more.

Yum yum!  I think with a couple of additions I may be able to match the garlic sauce at my favorite Thai restaurant!  Yay!

YAY this was so good and easy!  I used low sodium soy sauce and only 2 tbsp sweetener, but otherwise stuck really closely to the recipe.  I did saute the garlic and some chopped onions and mushrooms in a little oil before adding the broccoli and the sauce.  I actually also added water chestnuts, come to think of it...    Anyway, I served this over brown rice and it was a total delight, so thanks!

I just made this and I think it is ok.  It taste like it is missing something, kinda puts me in the mind of chop suey.  Have to tweak it to my liking.  Overall it is alright. Have to see if hubby likes.

This was incredible!  I was really craving Chinese takeaway but was low on funds, so I decided to make this up for dinner and was very pleasantly surprised.  It's even better than the expensive restaurant stuff!  I followed the recipe pretty closely, except for the following modifications: I reduced the sugar to 3 tablespoons (and probably should have used only two), and added a chopped red bell pepper.  It was very spicy and delicious!  I can't wait to make it again and add even more veggies and possibly some tofu cubes!

  OH MY GOSHthis was the absolute best recipe ive ever made, i swear!! i used one HUGE head of broccoli and one smaller one, and i steamed the pieces for 5 minutes. i also used canned veggie broth rather than cubes. i didnt use any red pepper flakes, cause i didnt have any, and instead of soy sauce and sweetener, i used lachoy teryaki sauce, which i think i would have liked better anyways. i was a little leary of the recipe at first, cause id never had fresh garlic before, but i wanted something light tonight, so i went out and bought some preskinned garlic specifically for this recipe...i used 6 cloves. i added 2 tbsp. of cornstarch to make it thicker, and i served it over brown rice. this is my new favorite recipe! i could eat this every single day and never tire of it. my mom even loved it!!! thank you so much!!!

[aveggiehappygirl]

Oh,how I LOVED eating this....yum...yumm...yummm......I used only 2 tbs. sugar and used 2 vegetable stock cubes which gave me a lot of sauce

[veg*nation]

I just have to say again, I loooooove this recipe!! I made it twice this week, and I have been having it at least once a day. I had it 2 times today, once in a whole wheat wrap and then over brown rice. I change up the veggies to fit what I have. I used frozen stir fry blend that had baby corn cobs, broccoli (yum), red peppers, carrots, water chestnuts, and pea pods. I still use teryaki sauce, and if anyone else does, I reccoment LaChoy, because we got some kikoman (it was all the store had) and it's still good, but not the same. Anyways, this remains by far my favorite way to eat my favorite food (broccoli). Thank you!!!  (p.s. My old user name was pilatesveg if you're wondering why you didn't see this name up here.)
