Indulge in the harmonious blend of flavors and textures in our stir-fried broccoli with crabmeat dish, a culinary masterpiece that tantalizes the taste buds. This delectable dish, brimming with vibrant colors and enticing aromas, is a symphony of fresh broccoli florets, succulent crabmeat, aromatic ginger, savory garlic, and a hint of spicy red chili peppers, all enveloped in a savory sauce.

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.

GINGER SCALLION DUNGENESS CRAB STIR FRY
Ginger scallion crab is a classic Cantonese dish that I've enjoyed my entire life. Although many restaurants have their own version, nothing has ever come close to the one my dad makes. Like an artist, he spent years perfecting his technique to find the delicate balance between the sweetness of Dungeness crab, kick from fresh ginger coins and exact consistency of the slurry that coats the crab as it simmers for the final minutes. I promise it's even better than a restaurant! When I was younger, I would help smash the garlic cloves and whisk the sauce together. As I got older, I moved on to prepping the aromatics and even cleaning the crab. But the day I learned to cook it by myself for my dad is one I'll cherish forever. He took one bite and I knew it was a success. I hope when you make this recipe in your home, you can taste the work we've both put into this family favorite meal.

Steps:
- Remove the top shells from the crabs. Halve each crab body and cut each half into 2 pieces. Using a meat mallet or the back of a chef's knife, gently smash the claws to break up the shell slightly. Transferred the crab body pieces to a colander set over a large bowl. Place the top shells and claws on a plate.
- Separate the scallion whites and greens. Split the scallion whites lengthwise, cut into 2-inch pieces and place in a small bowl. Cut the remaining scallion greens into 2-inch pieces and place in another small bowl.
- Make the sauce. Whisk the oyster sauce, sugar, white pepper and 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl until combined. Set aside.
- Shake off the excess liquid from the crab pieces in the colander over the sink. Reserve the large bowl. Transfer half of the crab pieces to a large plate and set aside.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cornstarch over the crab pieces in the colander and toss until coated completely. Place the colander over the reserved large bowl. Wait to coat the remaining crab until the first batch is frying to prevent the cornstarch from becoming too thick.
- Fill a wok or high-sided large skillet a little less than halfway (about 3 inches) with canola oil and heat over high until shimmering. Carefully add the coated crab to the oil. Fry until the crab legs begin to turn orange and the cornstarch coating is translucent, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, transfer the crab pieces on the plate to the colander. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cornstarch, toss to coat and set aside. Wash your hands, then use a slotted spoon or spider to transfer the fried crab pieces to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining crab.
- Remove all but 3 tablespoons of oil from the wok and reduce the heat to medium high. Add the garlic, ginger and scallion whites. Gently stir-fry until the garlic and ginger are golden brown and the scallion whites soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the claws and all of the crab pieces and toss with a wooden spoon or metal spoon. Add the Shaoxing wine and cook until reduced slightly, about 15 seconds. Add the oyster sauce mixture, scallion greens and 1/2 cup water. Toss again until well combined. Place the reserved crab top shells, hard side-up, on top in the wok and cover. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the crab is vibrant orange and fully cooked through, about 8 minutes (see Cook's Note).
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch with 1 1/2 teaspoons water in a small bowl. Remove the lid and drizzle the slurry on the crab. Toss again, increase the heat and bring to a full boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter and serve warm with white rice.

Drop 2 Dungeness crabs into boiling water in a large kettle or stockpot. Simmer about 10 minutes and drain. When crabs are cool enough to handle, break off claws andd extract meat with a small fork or pick. Pull off the top shell and break off the legs. Scrape away the gills and remove internal organs carefully. Pick out as much meat as you can find in the body and legs.From "Betty Crocker's New Chinese Cookbook."

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid crowns with yellow or wilted florets.
- Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets and wash them thoroughly. You can also blanch the broccoli for 1-2 minutes to help retain its color and crispness.
- Use fresh crabmeat: Fresh crabmeat has a delicate flavor and texture. If you're using frozen crabmeat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Cook the crabmeat gently: Crabmeat cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook it over medium heat for just a few minutes until it's heated through.
- Add flavor with seasonings: Garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and oyster sauce are all common seasonings used in stir-fried broccoli with crabmeat. You can also add other seasonings to taste, such as black pepper, red pepper flakes, or sesame oil.
