Gingered Beef and Broccoli (pg. 140)

I was originally thinking of re-making the orange beef and broccoli for my sisters because it was so good.  As I was preparing it, I had extra ginger, so I looked for a recipe that would use my remaining ginger.  Lo and behold, there is a recipe for gingered beef and broccoli.  It is prepared similar to the orange version, and I had the alternate ingredients, so another recipe gets checked off the list. 

Instead of frozen broccoli, I used the fresh broccoli that I purchased earlier.  When it came time to stir fry the broccoli, I was afraid that there was not enough liquid to cook it (frozen broccoli might have more liquid), so I added a smidge of water.  Worked like a dream.

The dish went over well, and everyone - including Anna - ate it.  Erin said that adding carrots would make it look snazzy.  A good comment.  Cooking with ginger makes the house smell sooo good.  Joe prefers the orange beef and broccoli, and I would agree.  When presented with the choice of the gingered or the orange varieties, the orange beef and broccoli would win every time.
