Tired of the same old dull and boring broccoli every time you make it?  Try this Asian-inspired version - the ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper add a nice kick, and it's quick to make.

Start by sauteing crushed garlic, ginger paste, and crushed red pepper flakes in a little oil over medium-high heat.

Stir constantly so the garlic doesn't burn. After 30-60 seconds you'll start smelling the garlic and ginger.

That's when you'll add the chicken stock. Give everything a quick stir.

Immediately add the broccoli florets.

Lower the heat and cover the pan. Simmer until broccoli is crisp-tender. Serve.
