Ummmmm...I'm a little appalled. Not much. Just a little. Let me explain. I'm a chef's daughter. Although my first career was nursing (40+yrs), cooking is definitely a second love. I learned at my mum's elbow. As a young woman during the great depression, my mum learned how to be a thrifty cook. Using as much as possible of every bit of food was always the goal. We ate very well too. She was amazing at using every food to its potential. I miss her. She'd be 102 yo now, 😁. I cooked my first meal 60 years ago! I'm now a retired nurse and finally have time to cook and learn new approaches. We're loving it! We really enjoy stir fries. They're fast and easy to prepare and with thousands of varieties~different veggies, proteins and sauces, they never get old! Now for that tiny bit of being appalled. Saying you can't eat the stems from broccoli is like saying "set fire to half the money you used to pay for it" and throw it out. No! Just no! I actually prefer the stem. All you do is peel away the dark green outer layer, until it is a light green, and what's underneath that fibrous outer peel is the heart of the stem. It's absolutely delicious and even more tender than the "trees" as my kids called the top. You can eat it raw, plain or cut up with dip, you can eat it cooked (if using in a stir fry, cut it up the same size as the other veg and add it) or use it for soup. It has a milder flavour than the tops as well, so young ones may be more willing to try it as opposed to the tops. But you never, ever dispose of those stems! With the cost of fresh veg these days you eat as much as possible from each fruit/veg. Other than that one small faux pas, this looks really good and filling. One other thing. WHERE DID YOU GET SRIRACHA?? In my city, here in Canada, it's been unavailable for at least two years now. Can't find it anywhere! Same with online shops (including amazon). Impossible to find! I'm so jealous you have some because although hubby can't take the heat I absolutely love it. We're you using the real sriracha by Hong Foy or a substitute? Just curious. (and your address is? Not that I'd steal your supply or anything 😅😅) I'm enjoying your channel. Hello 👋 I'm Jenn in Canada 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Hello Jenn from Canada! My wife is from Canada as well. So I say the best part of me is Canadian 😉 First of all, I just want to say thank you for taking the time to share your experience. This is a learning moment for us, from now on we will be more conscious. Regarding the Sriracha, we love it too. It's been limited here as well in the USA. On a random shopping trip at the HMart, an Asian grocery store near our house, we found a bottle. I think they're coming back though. It seems there was a dispute between the pepper farmer and the sauce company which stalled production. Happy Cooking!! ❤️
Looks easy to make. Homemade sauce is the best👍
I agree. Homemade sauce is always best and you can make it according to your like
So colourful 👍
Thank you. Isn't it beautiful?

This looks so easy to make. I have to find this smoked tofu around here.
It is a very easy recipe. We bought this Tofu from the Hmart (Asian grocery store) near our house.
