    Lovely side dish, I never thought of using soy sauce on anything but ethnic food, so this was a great surprise - works a treat

    Really lovely. Added a depth of flavour to otherwise bland broccoli.

    Did it without the peas and poppy seeds and it was lovely, just a little over-powering with the other dishes!

    i varied this so much it's almost another recipe - BUT v good and inspiring. Use broccoli and asparagus; used oyster sauce, maple syrup and sesame seeds for the sauce. Everything else the same - ie poppy seeds but no peas. Really delicate yet tasty!

    Very nice side dish!! I have absolutely no imagination when cooking broccoli and this was a great idea! I used lemon instead of honey though and it was very tasty!
