STIR FRIED SWEET STEM BROCCOLI

Sweet stem broccoli responds well to cooking in a wok and this is a brilliant side dish for Asian meals. Try it with green beans, thinly sliced carrots or cabbage. Use the basic recipe and make it more substantial by adding egg noodles to the wok before you add the oyster sauce. Stir fry for a few minutes to heat through, add the remaining ingredients and, if needed, a little extra liquid to loosen the mix.
