yum! I added some broth as suggested by baypuppy because I like it saucy and plus I added some more veggies - yellow bell and carrot. Next time I might add some browned tofu - I was just in a hurry this time - and this dish is so great when you're in a hurry, doesn't take long at all! Thanks!
:)>>> This is excellent!! Really quick and so yuuuuummy!!
I just popped the broccoli in a bag and nuked it for a like a minute maybe. I used low sodium tamari (that's all I had), and I added a few more dashes than called for into the pan. I also added some fresh ginger, green onions, and a red bell pepper. Served all of that over some Brown Royal Jasmine Rice. It was SO GOOD. :o
Thanks so much!!
My family really enjoyed this, even the children. I followed the reciped except added some browed tofu cubes. We ate it with brown rice. Thanks so much. :)
