Stir-Fried Broccoli Stems

Stir-Fried Broccoli Stems

adapted from Food Network 

I am trying to use all parts of the vegetables that I buy. Many people only get the florets but buying the whole broccoli stalk is actually cheaper by the pound.

Makes 2 servings                                                      0 WW Blue points / serving

3 broccoli stems, peeled and cut into thin slices

1 clove garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, chopped

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

1. Bring a couple of inches of water to a boil in a saucepan and prepare a water bath.
2. Place the broccoli in a steamer basket, place it in the pot and steam about 5 minutes or until al dente.
3. Move the broccoli to the water bath. Cool completely.
4. In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the garlic and ginger until fragrant.
