Instructions
- In a small bow or jar, mix together the cornstarch and water. Add remaining ingredients for the sauce and whisk until fully mixed and set aside.
- To prep the broccoli, remove the stem as close to the broccoli head as possible. Then cut the head into small florets.
- Grab the stems, chop a half inch of the bottom of the stems and discard that small piece. Thinly slice the rest of the stems.
- Add oil to a large deep pan or pot with a lid and heat over high heat.
- Add the onions, bell peppers, carrots, and the sliced broccoli stems if using. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes regularly mixing. Then add the garlic and ginger. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Lower the heat to a medium low and add the sauce.
- Add the broccoli florets, mix well, and cover with a lid undisturbed: for crunchy broccoli, cook for 10 minutes. For softer broccoli, cook for 20 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, remove the lid, add a splash of soy sauce and serve over rice or noodles.

Notes
- Prep all the ingredients in advance: It’s important to have everything ready (the sauce, chopped veg, etc.) before turning the heat on.
- Chop the veggies uniformly: That way, they’ll stir-fry evenly. Just note that different veggies require cutting in different sizes.
- Timesaving hack: Blanch the broccoli during step 5 for 2-3 minutes in boiling water, transfer to ice water, dry, then stir-fry for 6-8 minutes. This adds an extra step (and washing up) but speeds up the broccoli stir-frying time.
