Broccoli is a hardy vegetable of the cabbage family that is high in vitamins A and D. Traditionally ginger is always cooked with broccoli - its warmth balances the coolness of yin vegetables such as broccoli. So for this recipe, instead of using small amount of ginger juice, I used few slices of ginger and chopped finely to intensify the flavor of the vegetables. Other ways of stir-fry broccoli is with carrot, beancurd, and other types of mushrooms. It is a bit difficult to avoid overcooking the broccoli during the stir-frying process, therefore I like to blanched it first. In fact, blanched broccoli florets tasted good with or without any dipping sauces.
