2 Tbsp vegetable oil

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp light soy sauce

2 tsp sherry

and divide flowerets into 3 or 4 small sections, depending on size.

Smash wedge of ginger. Mix cornstarch, water, MSG if using, and

and pepper. Set beside pan.

Using a high flame, heat pan and add 1 Tbsp of oil, salt, and

ginger. Add broccoli and stir. Add stock and cover for 6 minutes,

stirring occasionally. Uncover, stir, remove, and set aside. Heat

pan again and add remaining Tbsp of oil. When pan is red hot, add

beef and flatten against sides of pan. Stir fry for 45 seconds

until beef is 3/4 cooked. Add broccoli and stir in cornstarch

mixture. Cook until gravy thickens. Serves 2 or 3.
