Quick and Tasty Steps

3. Heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the broccoli noodles for around 5 minutes until just tender but still bright.

4. Pour over the sauce and toss through gently until everything is evenly coated.

5. Remove from the heat and serve warm, either as a side or topped with tempeh, fish, or your choice of protein.

Why This Dish Deserves a Place on Your Table

Broccoli stalks are often overlooked, yet they are rich in fibre which helps support digestion and can contribute to feeling satisfied after a meal. Tamari adds a savoury depth while keeping the dish naturally gluten free, and ginger brings a gentle warmth that has long been valued in traditional cooking for its soothing qualities. Together, these ingredients make this simple recipe both nourishing and comforting.
