Garlic, crushed red pepper, and chili paste add heat; hoisin sauce and ginger sweeten the deal. Great served over jasmine rice! Recipe yield: 4 servings. INGREDIENTS: • 3 cups broccoli florets • 1 tablespoon olive oil • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch strips • 1/4 cup sliced green onions • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce • 1 tablespoon chile paste • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced • 1/8 cup chicken stock DIRECTIONS: 1. Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 5 minutes. 2.
