  1. I'm on a broccoli kick right now, so decided to try this recipe out. The steaming time was perfect....so the broccoli was at the right texture. I just didn't care for the flavor...I think I would prefer it with just a bit of soy with the broccoli and garlic. Or maybe less black bean sauce flavor. Maybe a personal preference, so if you love black bean sauce I highly recommend it.

I am a teacher who is near the end of my career. I have many craft interests and have just added cooking to my list. Since I like to keep a check on what DH eats I usually try to follow the WW diet and just love their cookbooks. Recipezaar has become the answer to my many cookbooks and recipes I gather and just can't seem to get organized. MMMMM maybe in retirement. <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg">
