Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb broccoli floret, cut very small
2 small onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp vegetable oil
salt and pepper
4 -5 cups cooked rice
juice 1/2 lemon
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups water
rind 1 lemon , no white pith (cut into strips)
ginger , 1 inch rough chopped
2 garlic cloves, bruised
1/2 tsp chili flakes
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
salt and pepper

Directions:

Combine all ingredients for the syrup. Place over heat and simmer for about 20 - 25 minutes. Strain through a sieve. This is about double the amount needed and should make enough for 2 times or use in stir fry. Store in refrigerator.
Heat 2 tbsp oil and saute the onions over high heat for a minute or two before adding the broccoli florets; toss. Add the garlic to the skillet.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook the broccoli until tender but with a bite, 5 minutes.
Pour over the broccoli, half of the reserved syrup, adding more if you like it on the sweet side; simmer for a minute, tossing to coat.
Add 4 or 5 cups of cooked rice and squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon; heat through.
