Sweet and Spicey “Chinese” Beef Broccoli Stir Fry

We really love Asian food.

There are lots of vegetables and the combination of sweet/salty/spicy flavors is wonderful.

Some of our favorite dishes to prepare at home are eggrolls and sushi.

Recently we attended our friend’s son’s Bar Mitzvah celebration at the famous Pagoda Restaurant in Tiberias.

The food was amazing and inspired us to try something new.

I used to have a housemate from mainland China when I was at University named Joe Lee.

One day, another housemate brought some kosher “Chinese” food back with him from Toronto.

The only thing that Joe recognized as being authentically Chinese was the steamed white rice LOL!

This Beef/Broccoli dish is an Americian/Chinese favorite. Enjoy.
