Another dish with the assistance of Asian Home Gourmet, as well as the leftover crab and egg curry from a couple weeks back (stored frozen).

I’m starting to prefer the broccoli stems over the florets.  I used to discard the stems, as I’m sure many people do.  But then, to stretch the value of our domestic grocery budget, broccoli being somewhat expensive here, I began to incorporate the stems into various dishes.  And now, I like that they maintain their crunchy texture even when cooked for longer periods, allowing for a wider margin of error where timing is crucial, especially in stir-fries.
