"This is my husband's favorite broccoli, therefore I've named it after him. I've been making this recipe since the beginning of our marriage and it's always been one of his requests since that time. I found this in one of my favorite magazines; Southern Living."

This is a fantastic way to cook broccoli, sweet yet sour and subtle yet a dash of heat from the chili. I love the flavor the sesame oil gives. An all around big thumbs up here, as not only did I love it but the whole family did!

Johnny G and I are broccoli soulmates. This was AWESOME. I was worried I it was going to be too spicy for me, but it wasn't. I'm not sure if waiting the 10 minutes helped it mellow? But it was perfectly spicy and the garlic and other ingredients made some of the best broccoli I've ever made/eaten. Loved it! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

This is a very different broccoli.....sort of sweet and sour. I made mine early and we heated it back up to eat, so think it overcooked the broccoli a bit. But delicious regardless!

We are so looking forward to having this again! The sweet/hot sauce is right up our alley. I cut the recipe down to 3 serves and wished I had not done that. I could have eaten it all! Thanks ForeverMama for sharing this quick, easy and delicious dish! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
