• 2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
• 2 Tbsp. Cooking Sherry

You can use most "hard" vegetables (green beans, green and red peppers, bamboo shoots, cabbage, etc...) in this dish in addition to, or as a substitute for, the broccoli.

Heat skillet. Add oil, ginger and garlic to skillet. Add broccoli (and other vegetables) and stir-fry over high heat (stirring constantly) for two minutes.

Add the broth mixture and stir until sauce thickens. Sprinkle with black pepper and serve immediately.
