kae's bangkok district broccoli

Recipe by

Fragrant broccoli Thai style (in a garlicy oyster sauce). This style of cooking doesn't have your broccoli cooking in copious amounts of greasy, thick sauce. Broccoli should still be firm (crunchy) but not "raw". This is a great accompaniment to any Asian style dish - my third son loves this with just jasmine rice as a snack. NOTE - you can add toasted almonds or cashews to the cooking process if you want to serve this cold as a salad (wonderful with a BBQ and marinated meats)
