  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (Optional)

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup chicken stock (or beef stock)
  • 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar (or white sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Stir-fry

  • 1 head broccoli, cut into bite-size florets
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ginger, minced

Instructions

  1. Meat Preparation: Slice beef, marinate with soy sauce, peanut oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.

  3. Stir-Fry: Steam broccoli, then stir-fry with garlic, ginger, beef, and sauce until thickened.

  • If using a tougher cut of beef, add baking soda to tenderize.
  • Dark soy sauce adds color and flavor depth; molasses can be a substitute.
  • For added flavor, use toasted sesame oil at the end of cooking if peanut oil is unavailable.
