SIMPLE BROCCOLI STIR-FRY
Stir-frying has stood the test of time. It's a wonderful way to cook small pieces of vegetables and meat quickly, without a lot of fat. Prepping your ingredients ahead of time and having them near your stovetop is the key to success. This recipe can be made in a large nonstick skillet, but consider purchasing a wok: Carbon steel and cast-iron take on high heat well, and the concave shape makes stir-frying foods easy and fast.

Steps:
- Trim the florets off the broccoli, and cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the broccoli stalks with a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin, and slice 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal. Set aside.
- Whisk together 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, cornstarch and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a large wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, and swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil begins to smoke, add the broccoli florets and stems. Cook, stirring constantly, until browned around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water to steam the broccoli, and cook, stirring constantly, until tender, about 2 minutes more. Push the broccoli to the edges of the pan, forming an empty well in the center. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, then the scallions, garlic, ginger and pepper flakes, and stir until aromatic, 30 to 45 seconds. Add the soy mixture, and stir until the sauce has thickened and the broccoli is coated, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, add the sesame oil and stir to coat. Serve with rice.

THE BEST EASY BEEF AND BROCCOLI STIR-FRY
I clipped this recipe from Taste of Home magazine several years ago and have found it to be the best-tasting easy beef and broccoli stir-fry. It is credited to Ruth Stahl. I often use charcoal chuck steak, which is very tender and lean. I also like that it doesn't call for any unusual ingredients.

- Whisk garlic, oil, vinegar, and mint in a small bowl to combine; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Assembly
- Hold broccoli so crown is resting against the cutting board and stem is pointing up and slice through stem all the way down through the crown to create ¼" -thick planks. Working one at a time, lay planks flat against the board and slice lengthwise through stems to create ¼"-thick strips with florets attached on top.
- Mix tamari, ginger, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and 2 Tbsp. water in a small bowl to combine. Set tamari sauce aside.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook shallots, stirring occasionally, until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain and immediately season with salt.
- Set skillet with oil back over medium-high and cook Spam in a single layer, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Cook broccoli in same skillet, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Mix in farro and reserved tamari sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Mix in Spam and transfer to a platter or plates. Drizzle reserved vinaigrette over and top with crispy shallots.
BROCCOLI 'N RED PEPPERS STIR FRIED
The key to a good stir fry is to have the veggies piping hot but still crisp. Cook this to your liking in terms of crispness. If you like a thicker sauce add 2 tsp of cornstarch to the stock. Great with Chicken. If you wish this suitable for vegetarrian diets use veggie stock in place of the chicken stock I have made this again in 2009. I modified the recipe by omitting the sesame seeds, used no oil just a light spray of "no oil." Not caring for a lot of sauce cut out the stock and used 4 tbsp of vermouth with 3 tbsp light soy - It worked.

Tips:
- Choose the right Spam: Opt for less salty Spam lite for a healthier option.
- Prep your veggies: Cut broccoli florets uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Sauce it up: Adjust the sauce ingredients to your taste preferences. Add more soy sauce for a saltier flavor, more brown sugar for sweetness, or more Sriracha for a spicy kick.
- Cook Spam first: Searing Spam before adding veggies creates a nice caramelized crust and prevents it from becoming rubbery.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Stir-frying in batches ensures that the veggies cook evenly and remain crisp-tender.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fried dishes are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
