How to make Ginger Broccoli Stir-fry

Ginger comes originally from Asia and is not only enjoyed as a spice, it is also very healthy.
You get many products which contain ginger: tea, spread, candy, lemonade, jam, pickles and many more.
I love the the spicy ginger tea because it helps to regulate digestion. The taste of fresh ginger root is very intense and you just need a little bit to add some exotic flavor to you dishes.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 lb broccoli
• 1/4 cup chopped almonds
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbs ginger spread or fresh minced ginger
• 1 tsp lemon juice

1. 
    
   ginger root

   Wash broccoli and cut it into flowers. Trim, peel stalks and slice them into thin pieces (if you want to use them). Peel garlic cloves and mince them. I always use a garlic mincer as it is very convenient. If you use ginger root instead of the spread, peel ginger root and mince it. You would need 1 teaspoon.

2. In a pan add oil and heat it up. Saute almonds in oil for 1 minute, add the minced garlic and fry it for two more minutes. Then add broccoli and stir fry until barley tender for about 3 minutes.

3. Stir in soy sauce and ginger spread. Continue stir-frying for one more 1 minute. Squeeze the lemon and add the juice.
   This side dish is wonderful for a barbecue; serve it with steamed rice. You also can make it as a side dish of a Chinese meal or serve it with mashed potatoes and turkey.
