Private Notes
Comments
The flavours are good but the onion and garlic overpower the delicacy of the other ingredients. I would suggest cutting back the quantity and sautéing them before adding to the dressing. I'm going to try sautéing leftovers tomorrow. I don't see the option to rate with stars but I'd probably give it 2-3.
Incidentally, I used baby broccoli.
Misnamed. I thought this was going to be a recipe for Chinese broccoli aka gai-lan.
