Delicious way to prepare broccoli. Amounts are spot on, and it had everyone going back for seconds. Very easy, with everything you already have on hand. Perfect!! I've made it a few more times and now Iike to use brown sugar instead of white sugar, I also grate my garlic instead of chopping or mincing it and I add grated fresh ginger to give it a more fresh flavor. I leave out the water too. Can use on other veggies besides broccoli and its delicious. -

Pretty tasty broccoli! Even my 7 yr old ate it and didn't think it was spicy. In fact, he said he loved it and it was the first thing gone on his plate. I wish that the sauce coated the broccoli a little better though, it just all went down into the bottom of the bowl. That's why 4 stars instead of five, but very good! Thank you for sharing. -
Love it! I used Splenda Brown Sugar, 2t rather than 1T. Next time I'll try using a bit less oil.

Living in the south we are very lucky to have an abundance of fresh seafood and other ingredients at our disposal when trying new recipes. My husband and I both love to cook and have learned a lot about cooking from our native Louisianian, Paul Prudhomme (we learned to be very careful with his recipes as they are very spicy - even for us), native New Orleanian, Frank Davis and transplanted Emeril Lagasse. It would be very difficult to pick an all time favorite cookbook since I have approximately 200. I enjoy collecting local cookbooks as well as others from different areas. This picture is obviously when DH and I got married. I cooked all the food and even made my wedding cake.
