If you can’t get the kids to eat broccoli, you’ve not tried this recipe.
First take a bunch and steam them in a big pot or steamer for about five minutes. All you want is for them to shine, bright green. They’re done. You don’t want them to be over cooked.

And for you dieters, one cup of broccoli has 31 calories and just 6 grams of carbs. In fact, the sweet sauce you’ll mix up in this recipe (if you’ve made our homemade hoisin sauce) will have fewer than 6 carbs altogether.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Powdered Erythritol
- ½ teaspoon Konjac Flour
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce/Bragg Liquid Aminos
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar/Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil
- 3 tablespoons Homemade Hoisin Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ginger Root, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Directions
While the broccoli is steaming, whisk the sweetener, soy sauce (Bragg), vinegar, oil, hoisin sauce, ginger, and garlic together in a small saucepan over medium heat, and when the broccoli is done, add the konjac flour and whisk it in thoroughly.
You can either dip the broccoli in the sauce or lay out the broccolli and drizzle the sauce over it.
This is a great addition to any meal.
Pandemic Version
This is quick and dirty:
- 3 Tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce
- ½ Tablespoon Rice Wine
- 1/8 to 1/4 Cup Vanilla Brandy
If you want to thicken it, just dust in some Konjac Flour and stir. You don’t even have to cook this one, unless you want. But just go ahead and do it.
Hell, it’s a pandemic.
Misen — Our Latest Affiliate
You’ve probably noticed we don’t use pop-ups here or any advertising, but to keep this site running, we do have some affiliate links. And our affiliate programs are from stores that we actually use.
When it comes to kitchen hardware, knives, pans, etc, nobody can top Misen. I have one of their knives and I can shave with it . . . after three years of use. Most non-stick surfaces are toxic. Their carbon steel pan is non-stick because of the way you season and care for it. They make the best stuff in your kitchen. We highly recommend them.
These two links will get you started. Misen Chef’s Knife and Misen Carbon Steel Pan.
