Broccoli Stir-Fry with a Tamarind Twist
March 21, 2017
Happy Spring… Enter all vegetables NOW!!!! What better way to bring them together than in a stir fry! Instead of going with the usual teriyaki version, we are going to use tamarind. It’s a fruit grown in tropical areas and is commonly known to be from Asia. The pulp from a tamarind once ripened has a paste-like texture and has a sweet/sour taste – giving a stir fry and new and refreshing flavor.

Meat:
- 500g sirloin or flank steak cut across the grain in thin strips. (you can also use chicken if preferred)
- 2 tsp of corn starch
- 1 egg yolk
