Chinese Broccoli Recipe

Chinese Broccoli

1 large head of broccoli, cleaned and cut into pieces.
2 tablespoons oil
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
˝ cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Brown onion in oil over medium heat. Add broccoli to onion, cover and cook about 3 minutes.

Mix soy sauce and sugar with the chicken stock. Add corn starch and mix. Pour mixture over broccoli. Cook, uncovered, another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Serve immediately.


Variation:

• Broccoli is also good with green onions. I would substitute 1 bunch of green onions, cleaned and chopped. Just saute them lightly before adding the broccoli as it doesn't take as much cooking as regular onion.
• There isn't much sugar in this dish and the sugar really evens out the taste a bit, but it is optional. If you are really cutting down on sugar, you can cut the amount in half or omit it.
