I have always love broccoli since I was a little child. I didn’t know what they were called then and I remembered telling my mom I want that tree vegetable, well because it looked like and still to this day look like a tree to me, trunks and all.

You will be surprised how many times I burn broccoli before understanding my mistakes. Here comes a confession: I don’t enjoy making stir fries or any quick-cooking food. I get too stressed out. The whole time I feel like I am racing against time so I don’t have a plate of unappetizing burnt bok choy at the end. I like braising asado or making stews or slow-cooked bolognese. A recipe that calls for many ingredients or many steps doesn’t faze me, but stir frying vegetables? Thanks but no thanks.
