quick dinner for one (or more…)
Tonight, Nat is off playing bocce, so it was time for dinner for one. He doesn’t like broccoli, and we had a head of it in our farm box. I can’t eat a whole head all at once, so this was meal #2 from it, just for me:
- about 2 handfuls broccoli florets
- 1 thumb-size piece of ginger
- 1 nice fresh scallion
- sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
- soy sauce
- chili sauce (I use “rooster” sauce - the Hoy Fong brand Sriracha sauce)
- 1 lime wedge
- honey
- black pepper
- peanut oil
Cut the ginger in half and keep half for some other recipe. Peel the remaining half and cut into matchsticks. Slice the white and green parts of the scallion into thin slices on the bias.
Heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat. Stir-fry broccoli, ginger, and scallion until the broccoli is bright green and the ginger soft.
Meanwhile, chop the sun-dried tomatoes and put in a bowl. When the stir fry is done, add to the bowl. Dress with soy sauce, honey, rooster sauce, the juice from the lime wedge, and a little black pepper. Toss. Eat.
Makes about 1/2 of a large cereal bowlful.
This would be delicious with tofu, chicken, or shrimp in it as well; it would also multiply well for more people. It took me about 5 minutes, start to finish. Yum!
