Save the Stems Broccoli, Carrot & Cabbage Stir Fry image

I've always liked broccoli, providing you are talking about the budding tops. The stems I could do without. For a while there I was throwing the stems away, but that felt so extravagant that I kept wondering if there wasn't something I could do with them. There is... and it's even delicious. Now I look forward to the stems as much as the rest of the broccoli.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 -3 broccoli stems (from 1 bunch)
1 large carrot
2 -3 leaves savoy cabbage
3 -4 green onions
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • Finely chop the green onions.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet, and add all the prepared vegetables.
  • Sprinkle the water over the top.
  • Cook the vegetables over medium-high heat for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the water is evaporated.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and ginger and it was much better.

I'm always looking for ways to use up leftover vegetables, and this recipe is a great way to do that. The stems were just as good as the florets and leaves.

Great recipe! I used a pre-made stir-fry sauce and it turned out great. The stems were a bit tough, but still edible.

Loved this recipe! The stems were surprisingly delicious and added a nice crunch to the stir-fry. Will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a great way to use up leftover broccoli, carrot, and cabbage stems. I had never used stems in a stir-fry before, but they were just as tender and flavorful as the florets and leaves.
