Asian Broccoli Patties Recipes

STIR-FRIED ASIAN STYLE BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Remove and discard broccoli leaves and tough ends of stalks. Wash broccoli thoroughly, and cut off flowerets; set aside. Cut stalks into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Add chicken broth and soy sauce, stirring until smooth; set aside.
• In a wok or large skillet, sautè garlic in hot oil over medium-high heat until lightly browned.
• Add broccoli flowerets and stems; cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Cover and cook an additional 2 minutes.
• Add broth mixture; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until sauce thickens.

BAKED BROCCOLI PATTIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with non-stick spray.
• 2. Heat oil and saute the onions and garlic until softened. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
• 3. Place the thawed broccoli in a kitchen tea towel and twist each end tightly to remove any excess water. In a bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the cheeses. Give the broccoli a rough chop.
• 4. Add the broccoli, garlic, onions and Panko crumbs to the egg/cheese mixture and mix well.
• 5. Form patties and place on baking sheet. (The mixture has a wet consistency at this point--you don't think they will hold together, but they do.)
• 6. Bake for 15 minutes. Flip the patties over and cook for another 15 minutes.
• 7. ENJOY! I can see dipping these in a garlic aioli, mayo/dill or ranch dressing if one was so inclined. Great grab-n-go snacks. Note: I've also added cauliflower and/or shredded zucchini...works just as well.
