 Print This Post | This page as PDF

Ginger is one of our favorite seasonings and it is a perfect compliment for broccoli. We enjoy it fresh, powdered, in syrup and candied. When a fresh piece of ginger has a small green shoot coming, it can be hard to grade since since I would rather put it in soil and let it grow.

Serving Size: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 broccoli, cut in florets
• 1 tbs. oil (not a strong flavored oil)
• 1 onion , sliced in rings

• 1 can water chestnuts, sliced

1. Wash and cut the broccoli into flowerets.
