Beef Broccoli Stir Fry
My trusty kikkoman oriental cookbook from 1993 has several wonderful recipies that are easy to make with simple ingredients that i usually have on hand. I also often substitue fresh ginger root with powered and always have a jar of pre-chopped garlic on hand. The sauce is a staple for all my beef stirfrys. If i don't have much time, i buy a package of oriental frozen stir fry vegetables, which has a wonderful assortment and costs about $3.
