| 1½ | pounds | Broccoli |
| 6 | Cloves garlic | |
| 1 | tablespoon | Vegetable oil |
| ¼ | can | Pine nuts |
| ½ | cup | Water |

Directions
Trim the ends from the broccoli stalks. Peel the stems with a vegetable peeler. Thinly slice the stems all the way up to the florets. Thinly slice 5 garlic cloves and mince the 6th. Heat the peanut oil in a wok over high heat until smoking. Add the pine nuts and stir until lightly browned, about 20 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the broccoli and sliced garlic to the wok and stir fry for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the color of the broccoli heightens. Add the water, toss briefly, cover the wok, and steam the broccoli for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender. Uncover and cook over high heat until any water in the wok evaporates. Season liberally with salt and pepper and toss in the minced garlic and ginger root. Transfer to a serving platter and scatter the pine nuts over the top. Serve half. Reserve ½ cup for Vegetable Blintzes.
Reserve 2 cups for Chinese Chicken Salad.
