Made this last night as a side dish. I followed the instructions except, like another reviewer said, I only stir-fried it for 3 minutes. Perfect-very crunchy ( but cooked) broccoli. The ginger adds a pleasant taste while not overpowering the broccoli.

Pre-cooking the broccoli before stir frying, if the florets are small enough, isn't even necessary. But even if they're larger, however, the cooking time is off - if you steam or microwave before stir frying, it will only need another minute or two. The seasoning is quite nice, tho' as a personal thing I could easily skip the ginger.

Very good. I used fresh ginger and onion, too.

Super easy/fast to make--great for adding some green to the family dinner. Have made it twice now and it's way better with fresh broccoli than frozen IMO.

I used a 12" wok over a gas burner, and 6-7 minutes was FAR too long, it came out limp and sad looking. 1 minute of stir-fry plus 1-2 minutes after the sauce was added would have been best. I used fresh minced ginger, and the taste was delicious, just quite a bit over-cooked.

This was fantastic! I love ginger and garlic, and it went very well with broccoli. I probably wouldn't cook it for so long next time.........our gas burner tends to cook things a lot faster. Thanks for the great recipe:)

Just kind of a plain old veggie side. I used frozen broccoli (the steam in a bag kind) but would definitely recommend fresh since frozen broccoli is always a rip off (a bunch of stems, basically) - but this is not reflected in my rating :). I think fresh ginger would also give this a more bursting flavor; it was kind of bland - and I used the directed measurements with about 1/4 of the directed broccoli. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving. I might attempt this again...

Makes a great side dish! I used a package of frozen broccoli and that I partially cooked in the microwave before adding to the skillet. Love the flavor of garlic, soy and ginger together!
