So glad you enjoyed it!
Unfortunately our oven caught on fire and due to supply chain issues the replacement oven is oos. So I wound up frying it all. Started with the broccoli then the meat in batches. Once meat seared, combined all in the skillet then added the sauce. If I windup using this method again I'll reduce the sesame oil in the sauce because I used oil (combo veg/sesame) to fry the broccoli and meat.
Sure!
Not quite a disaster due to the tasty ingredients. Any tips would be appreciated. I’m willing to try again.
