Fried Broccoli

We like broccoli in our home... 

However- steamed to the point of mushy broccoli- not so much...

So, we steam it (sometimes) but mostly, I fry it up... And it goes well with Cheesy Chicken or any other delicious item you wish to make.

1 bunch of Broccoli, cut down to bite sizeable pieces.. 
I <3 the stem, Husband- not so much
some Soy Sauce
some Red Pepper flakes
1/4 c to 1/2 c freshly shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese  


In a frying pan, heat some olive oil and add broccoli and kinda move it around so that the oil just doesn't absorb into a few pieces, but that the heat gets to all of the broccoli. 

Add soy sauce- I say roughly 2 TBS or so.  Just enough to give the broccoli pieces 
(not all, but some) some color.  
Keep frying, stirring frequently until the green from the broccoli darkens. 

Remove from heat and top with Parmesan or Romano cheeses.  Stir together and then top again.

add Red Pepper flakes, again, depending on the heat that you want. 

Serve and enjoy the simple easy relatively healthy dish as a vegetable side.
