3 cups broccoli florets

1 teaspoon fresh minced (or grated ginger)
•
2 garlic cloves (minced)
•
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce (can also use gluten free tamari or coconut aminos for paleo)
•
3 Tablespoons oyster flavored sauce (if allergic - leave out and use more soy sauce or hoisin sauce can be used but the flavor won't be quite the same since it's sweeter)

•
2 teaspoons of sesame oil
•
2 Tablespoons corn starch

2/3 cup water (plus more as needed to thin out sauce)
