Both my DH and I agreed on this one. I was really hoping for something great but WOW it definitely wasn't that... In our opinion it was way too sweet and too orangy and the broccoli and orange didn't work well together at all. Maybe the person who forgot to put the otange juice in found the secret! As it was (and I followed the recipe exactly) it was inedible. -
I think this recipe deserves fives stars because I messed it up pretty royal and I still got compliments. I didn't have cornstarch handy so I just omitted it on purpose. I was rushed though and didn't realize until much later I never used orange juice at all!!! It didn't seem to matter though because my MIL loved it! Thanks so much, I look forward to trying this again with the right ingredients!!! -
Excellent veggie! The ginger, orange and sesame just go together very well. I made the sauce ahead of time and nuked it when needed. Well worth making. Thanks Veggie Carrie -
Broccoli is not my favourite vegetable but my toddler loves her 'trees' so I have to cook it sometimes. This recipe is great - even I will go for seconds.
