8. Repeat steps 2-7 with remaining batches of broccoli.

Note: This recipe may seem a bit complicated for broccoli, but ginger and soy sauce give it a different flavor that children seem to like. Lunch on this day should allow you enough time to make this recipe.

We served the Stir-Fried Broccoli with turkeyburger pie, pears, bread and milk for a nutritious lunch.
