*** The Ranting Chef would much rather cook than clean. This was reinforced this past weekend when I was cleaning a kitchen knife, my hand slipped and I was able to see how sharp my knife really was. Only four stitches later (the pros who follow the blog will start laughing at just four stitches) I’m back in the kitchen. As a result AND with the first round of the Diced! competition to post next week, you’ll see a high number of guest posts over the next few weeks. ***
Many times when I decide to make an Asian based dish, the vegetables are either built into the recipe or missing from the plate. I cannot say I have been overly successful in having an Asian side dish of vegetables (short of some steamed edamame or some cut up raw peppers).
I was glad to come across this one as it is both easy, and great tasting.
Tasty!
Such a basic recipe.
Broccoli and garlic.
And the sauce.
