1/2 lb beef
 4 c fresh broccoli (1 lb)
 1 wedge ginger size of quarter
 2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water
 1/2 tsp MSG (optional)
 dash pepper
 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
 1/2 tsp salt
 3/4 c chicken stock or water
 1 tsp cornstarch
 1 tsp light soy sauce
 2 tsp sherry
 1/4 tsp sugar
 1/4 tsp vegetable oil
 Slice beef and add marinade.  Wash broccoli and peel off tough
 outer layer.  Slice broccoli stems diagonally into paper-thin slices
 and divide flowerets into 3 or 4 small sections, depending on size.
 Smash wedge of ginger.  Mix cornstarch, water, MSG if using, and
 and pepper.  Set beside pan.
 Using a high flame, heat pan and add 1 Tbsp of oil, salt, and
 ginger.  Add broccoli and stir.  Add stock and cover for 6 minutes,
 stirring occasionally.  Uncover, stir, remove, and set aside.  Heat
 pan again and add remaining Tbsp of oil.  When pan is red hot, add
 beef and flatten against sides of pan.  Stir fry for 45 seconds
 until beef is 3/4 cooked.  Add broccoli and stir in cornstarch
 mixture.  Cook until gravy thickens.  Serves 2 or 3.
