Take out Chinese food is great, but I’m happy to report that it can be recreated at home. It’s much cheaper, healthier and takes about the same amount of time as calling the closest Chinese restaurant.

This was my first attempt at recreating take out. The recipe comes from Martha’s Everyday Food Blog. I was surprised by how quickly it all came together- the meat is cut thinly for quick cooking, and the broccoli only takes about ten minutes to soften. The sauce is made from the beef’s marinade, and has great flavor from the garlic and soy sauce. I’m a big fan- try it out the next time you’re craving Chinese!
