If you’re looking for a quick side dish then try out this ginger garlic tenderstem broccoli recipe. It is a tasty way to enjoy your vegetables and it is the perfect side to complement any dish. This is a hassle-free recipe that is so quick and easy to prepare.

Broccoli is one of my favourite vegetables to enjoy and tenderstem broccoli also known as broccolini is even tastier and apparently healthier than regular broccoli. Tenderstem broccoli was first produced in 1993 in Japan so it is a relatively new version of broccoli. It is a cross between Chinese kale and regular broccoli and has a nice crunchy texture.

Like regular broccoli, it is low in calories with plenty of nutrients that are all good for health. Micronutrients found in tenderstem broccoli include vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, folate, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and manganese.

There are plenty of reasons to try some tenderstem broccoli and this recipe makes it even more enjoyable. This recipe goes well with my lightly dusted sea-bass which I regularly enjoy for dinner and also goes well with chicken or beef. For a balanced meal try adding some stir-fried noodles or sticky rice.
