Would you like to feel fancy while making a simple dinner? Broccolini is your guy! Broccolini is a tender, long stemmed version of broccoli. It is a great side to Asian dishes, pastas, chicken, pretty much anything.

I had this dish with pasta.

Ingredients:

• Teriyaki Sauce:
  •  1/4 C soy sauce or liquid amios
  • 1 cup water
  • 1tbsp fresh grated ginger, powdered would work as well
  • 3tbsp coconut sugar (brown sugar works fine too)
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 2tbsp cornstarch
  • ¹⁄₄ cup cold water
• Olive oil spray
• 1lb of broccolini
• 1/4 C water
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Make the sauce first:
   1. Mix 1 cup water, soy sauce, coconut sugar, garlic and ginger in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
   2. In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 cup of cold water and add to sauce.
   3. Consistently stir to thicken the sauce.
   4. If the sauce is too thick add a little water or soy sauce to thin out
2. For the broccolini
   1. Spray a large pan with olive oil and set on medium high heat
   2. Add broccolini and sauté for 1 minute.
   3. Add 1/4 cup water; cook, turning with tongs, until broccolini is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
   4. Add teriyaki sauce and stir. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until broccolini is tender.
   5. Enjoy!!
