Orange Beef and Broccoli (pg. 179)

We chose orange beef and broccoli for tonight.  All fresh ingredients, including some that I have not worked with before:  ginger and orange zest.

Jen and I worked on cooking the dish together.  We got into a rhythm, and cranked out the meal in style.  We paired it with brown rice, and it was a pretty dish with a lovely orange flavor on the tongue.  The ginger was mild and a delicious addition.  It looked like what we get at a Chinese restaurant.  Next time, I am bringing fortune cookies.

Fresh ginger looks very ugly, but it smells sooooo good. 

Anna's verdict on the meal = a keeper.  I haven't cooked this much continuously since we moved into this place.  Good times.

PointsPlus:  6 points
