Broccoli stir fry


This was so easy and quick!  I already had the spaghetti noodles cooked and in the frig.  

Ingredients:
16 oz. spaghetti
2 TB olive oil, for saute
1 bag pre-cut broccoli
1 red pepper, diced
1-inch piece of fresh ginger root, peeled, smashed, and rough chopped
6 cloves garlic, peeled, smashed, and rough chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1 TB toasted sesame oil
6 scallion, sliced on the diagonal (for cuteness)
2-3 TB sliced almonds
2 TB sesame seeds

Directions:
Cook spaghetti according to directions on the box.  Steam broccoli for 3-5 minutes, or just until it changes color and is still crisp and set aside.  While spaghetti is cooking, bring chicken broth to a boil and add honey.  When the honey had dissolved, add the teriyaki sauce and sesame oil and reduce to simmer.  In a small skillet, heat olive oil and saute ginger, peppers, and garlic for a few minutes.  Add garlic mixture to chicken broth pan and give it a couple of good stirs.  If you like your sauce thick, you can add a little cornstarch to thicken it.  If not, plate up your noodles and top with broccoli and sauce.  Garnish with almonds and/or sesame seeds and scallions.  You could also toast the sesame seeds first in a dry skillet to bring out the flavor.  Delish!
