So when I am sick I only want to eat two things: Fresh squeezed orange juice, and Chinese food (specifically wonton soup, broccoli with garlic sauce and general tso's chicken). I really think the combo of OJ and wonton soup can be curative.
So now that I recovered, today I bought some broccoli and made my own version of broccoli with garlic sauce.
Ingredients
2 bunches of broccoli
2 tablespoons of corn starch (organic nonGMO variety/ rapunzel brand)
7 garlic cloves minced
1/2 teaspoon red chilli flakes
2 teaspoons of sesame oil
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup of chicken broth (that's what I had)
A sprinkling of sesame seeds
Sriracha sauce
Safflower oil
In a cup I combined the garlic, brown sugar, corn starch, soy sauce, sesame oil, and the broth. I whipped it until it was smooth.
In a wok I heated the safflower oil and the red chilli flakes, and when the oil is warmed I added the broccoli, let I cook until it was almost cooked, then I added the sauce I made and added sriracha to taste, and let it cook down. At the very end I sprinkled the sesame seeds onto it, and let it cook 10 more seconds and voila!
It was delicious and I plan to take it to work this weekend with some brown rice!
Enjoy!
