The Asian culinary sphere is full of opportunities for you to learn about new ingredients and cooking methods.  While some Asian dishes are quite tricky, many can easily be prepared at home. For this recipe, you can use a wok, which is traditionally used for sautéed dishes, but a regular saucepan can function the same way as the Asian woks do. So grab the main ingredients and start making a genuine Asian meal in your own kitchen with healthy ingredients that you handpicked. Remember that Asian meals almost always go nicely with rice or noodles and with this dish, a bowl of steamed rice is the perfect partner.

  1. Delicious! I made this for dinner tonight. Both my 10 year old son and husband devoured their meals. This website is quickly becoming a favorite!

  2. I just made a vegan version of the beef and broccoli – wonderful.

    I used the Field Roast brand, always good. I usually do it with onion gravy over mashed potatoes but wanted sticky rice in the Instant Pot.

    Field Roast brand makes other excellent products.

    1. Linda, Similar to crushed garlic. I place a chunk of ginger root on a chopping board and crush it with a food tenderizer. Feel free to use diced ginger too. 🙂
