Who this list is for

How to use this list
Begin by reviewing what you have in your kitchen. You’ll need 1 1/2 cups of jasmine rice for the base. For the stir fry, gather 1 1/2 pounds of flank steak and two large broccoli crowns. The sauce requires low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch for thickening. You’ll also need three tablespoons of neutral cooking oil, four garlic cloves, a tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil, and three scallions for garnish. Prep all vegetables and slice the beef before starting to cook, as stir frying goes fast.
What to skip
Don’t use regular soy sauce in place of low-sodium; the sauce can get too salty. Avoid substituting broccoli florets from a bag, as they often cook unevenly. Skip skipping the cornstarch—without it, the sauce won’t thicken properly. Don’t forget to cross off pantry staples like oil or brown sugar if you already have them.
