For an easy side for Asian entrées, stify fry broccoli and serve with a homemade oyster sauce. The garlicky oyster sauce not only goes well with broccoli, but also with asparagus, zucchini, green beans, or cauliflower.
I too made as a standalone side. The sauce was too thin - I cooked it longer and even let it sit for a few, but probably should have added more cornstarch. Agree that it was too sweet. I will not make again.
Followed the recipe. There was enough sauce, but I plan on serving the dish as a side, not over rice. Nice light flavor, not heavy or oily like tradtional stir fried recipes. I like the crunch of the broccoli. Also enjoy the gingery, garlicy taste combined with the oyster sauce.
Fabulous flavor! Used 1 zucchini (sliced), green beans (sliced), about a cup chopped mushrooms; stir-fried in canola oil about 4-5 minutes, added 2 cloves garlic (chopped), stir-fried about a minute more, then added sauce (subbed rice wine vinegar for rice wine, used abt. 3/4 tsp. sugar per other reviews). Family really enjoyed this side dish!
I added chicken and pineapple chunks took the juice and subbed that for the chicken broth. I also added bell pepper, water chest nuts and pea pods. I don't think you can really screw this up. It was great over rice.
i had to double the sauce to get enough to serve with rice. WAY too sweet....will not make again.
