Recipe Thursday - Garlic and Ginger Broccoli

We are in Hills B.C.  right now but I'd like to post Kill's favorite broccoli recipe.  He loves it and it's so simple - that's the dream isn't it? I read this recipe about 5 years ago but I can't remember where; still, I'll try to remember so as not to be a plagiarizer.

Garlic and Ginger Broccoli

• 1 head broccoli (cut into florets and 1 inch stem chunks)
• 2 cloves chopped garlic
• 1 inch chopped, fresh ginger (leave the skin on, it's fine)
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds (white is prettier than black for this)

Heat the oil in a frying pan for 30 seconds on high then put in ginger and garlic. Turn down to medium and fry lightly for 1 minute then add in your broccoli. Pour in the water and cover the broccoli for 3 minutes, stirring once. When the broccoli is bright green, add the soy sauce to the pan, put it all on a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Super easy right? 

My mom served broccoli so often when we were growing up that I had to take a few years break when I left the house. Now I'm back to liking it and really, she was right because it's so good for human beings. Good job mom :).
