Learn How To Cook Healthy™
Most kids love Chinese take-out and will gladly eat broccoli.
I make this for the “big kid” in my life — my husband. He hates veggies, but he coo-coo for Asian flavors that perk up this crisp tender, nutritional packed veg!

yum. this definitely sounds like broccoli that even non-broccoli lovers will enjoy!
i am absolutely going to have to try this one.
Enjoyed making this and it was delicious. As close as I’ve come to replicating that wonderful, classic New York Chinese take-out ‘Broccoli with Garlic Sauce’ (which I miss terribly living as an ex-pat here in Europe).
Ever since moving to the south this is one of the dishes I missed the most from the northern/midwest states. Next time I’m going to add shrimp to it.
was very tastey.can’t wait to try somemore of your recipes..
delicious and very healthy lunch served with brown rice 🙂 thanks for the recipe!
Just tried it! Absolutely scrumptious!
Absolutely brilliant – great, simple, QUICK recipe that even us guys can make 🙂
I am a college student who is trying to learn how to cook some delicious, healthy recipes, and this was a great start!
I threw in some crushed red pepper to add a little kick 🙂
Thanks!
Great recipe – I added a little bit of schezwan sauce. Thanks!
I made this for my family with brown rice and they loved it! I used honey for sweetener.
This is totally delicious. I will double the garlic sauce recipe so I can have some sauce for my brown rice. I never cooked fresh broccoli before and it came out just the way I like, with a “snap”
My East Coast/Chinese Food snob hubby had nothing but great things to say about this recipe. Even before adding the chili flakes. A rarity in our house! Thanks!
Thanks Erika, glad to hear it! You can also add grilled chicken to that and a side of steamed brown rice to make it a meal. So nice to hear that your cooking up a storm 🙂
Instant hit with the family – 3, 7 and 44. Will absolutely make it again. Easy and delicious!
Great news, thanks for writing in!
Nice Healthy Dish!
just made this, absolutely delicious. Im stuck in po-dunk Ohio with no good chinese anywhere in sight…. this reminds me of Wo-Hop in NY
Your recipe is easy to follow and so delicious. I love chineese food, preferably when I try to make it myself so I know what’s in it.I also like Thai food, so I made my own version of Pad Thai and it turned out great. Thank you
sounds great. I am going to try it with tofu to get my protein in too! thank you!
I TRIED TO PRINT THIS RECIPE AND GOT TEN PAGES OF GARBAGE FOR A ONE PAGE RECIPE
@Jack: Jack, look under the recipe title for the textlink entitled PRINT. When you click that link, it brings up a nicely formatted one-page recipe. Save the PDF to your desktop, then print it — hope that answers your question.
I’ve made this numerous times; it’s a great recipe. I like to add onions, red peppers, some hot chilis and serve it over brown rice! Very delicious and much less heavy than traditional takeout! Thanks 🙂
I’m with Uli – not a fan of veggies, but you’re right, veggies in Asian dishes are really quite sublime. I’m making this ASAP! (PS My dog is crazy for raw broccoli stalks)
My wife and I really liked it, but we found we needed to make a double or triple portion to get as much sauce as we wanted. (also doing a little more cornstarch helps at times, cause I think it is better if it isn't too runny).
added soy sauce and ginger…pretty good.
My daughter loves this dish and it’s so quick & easy to make!
