Like it says, this is hot and sweet. Serve this vegetable when the main dish is otherwise a mild or plain affair. This will add the “zest” to make your meal sing!

ingredients

  • 1/2 c honey
  • 2 T soy sauce
  • 1 T ground ginger
  • 1/2 to 1 T crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 lb broccoli, trimmed
  • 1/2 lb asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 T olive oil

directions

  • 1

    Combine honey, soy sauce, ginger and red pepper.

  • 2

    Cut up broccoli and slice through stems when necessary for uniform pieces. Diagonally slice asparagus.

  • 3

    Heat oil in large skillet; add broccoli and asparagus and stir-fry over med-high heat for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 c water to pan; cover and steam vegetables for 2 minutes or until tender-crisp. Drain water from pan.

  • 4

    Add honey mixture and cook uncovered until glaze thickens - about 2 minutes.

  • 5

    Serve while still hot.

notes

Something different for a vegetable. You control the "hot" by the amount of red pepper.
