SIMPLE BROCCOLI STIR-FRY
Stir-frying has stood the test of time. It's a wonderful way to cook small pieces of vegetables and meat quickly, without a lot of fat. Prepping your ingredients ahead of time and having them near your stovetop is the key to success. This recipe can be made in a large nonstick skillet, but consider purchasing a wok: Carbon steel and cast-iron take on high heat well, and the concave shape makes stir-frying foods easy and fast.

Steps:
- Trim the florets off the broccoli, and cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the broccoli stalks with a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin, and slice 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal. Set aside.
- Whisk together 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, cornstarch and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a large wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, and swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil begins to smoke, add the broccoli florets and stems. Cook, stirring constantly, until browned around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water to steam the broccoli, and cook, stirring constantly, until tender, about 2 minutes more. Push the broccoli to the edges of the pan, forming an empty well in the center. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, then the scallions, garlic, ginger and pepper flakes, and stir until aromatic, 30 to 45 seconds. Add the soy mixture, and stir until the sauce has thickened and the broccoli is coated, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, add the sesame oil and stir to coat. Serve with rice.

BROCCOLI AND HAM RISOTTO
Variations: Use bacon instead of ham; make the stock up with some white wine; use brown rice instead of risotto rice If you use (cheaper) brown rice in this recipe, you don't have to add the stock gradually - it can go in all at once.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large, shallow saucepan on a gentle heat and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently until the onion is soft. Meanwhile make up the stock in a jug using boiling water.
- Add the leek, garlic and ham to onions and stir until the ham starts to brown. Add the rice and stir for 1-2 minutes. Ladle a little of the stock in the pan and stir thoroughly. When most of the liquid has been absorbed, add more and stir.

In 12 inch skillet over high heat, in 1 tablespoon very hot salad oil, cook broccoli pieces and salt, stirring quickly and constantly, until evenly coated with oil. Add 1/4 cup water.

Tips:
- Choose fresh ingredients: Use fresh ham and broccoli for the best flavor and texture.
- Cut the ham and broccoli into thin, uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of space to stir-fry the ingredients.
- Heat the oil over high heat: This will help the ingredients sear and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Stir-fry the ingredients in batches if necessary: Don't overcrowd the pan, or the ingredients will not cook evenly.
- Cook the ingredients until they are tender but still slightly crisp: You don't want to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
- Add the sauce ingredients and cook until the sauce has thickened: This will help to flavor the ingredients and bring the dish together.
- Serve the ham and broccoli stir-fry immediately: This is a dish that is best enjoyed fresh.
