So the other day I said to myself "Myself, I really miss good broccoli beef, Imma just gonna make my own!!".

Now i've tried before, but I really have never gotten the sauce down, even though I have tried multiple times in the past.

But now there are all these videos to use!! So i'm like, I got this!! I got garlic paste and ginger paste to make adding them easier, got the soy sauce etc, but I skippped the brown sugar...cause diabetic over here.....and I figured it would still be decent without it.

I was wrong, it just tasted like VERY strong soy sauce when I was done. Sigh.

Also maybe it wasn't just the pizza since I didn't realize like most of chinese food that I like had a freakton of sugar in it. Growl.

Seriously though, it's one of my favorite dishes and I can't seem to find any way to make it that doesn't involve alot of sugar being added.

At least I got seriously good pot stickers down now. Saw a few videos on them and next time I make them, I'm going to use a water/slurry (water + flour) instead of just water for the steaming part. This creates that crunchy yum layer under the pot stickers that the best resteraunts have. I made them without it last time and they came out great, but that is the last step...to making the most delicious pot stickers ever...at home.

At least THAT does't have me adding sugar.

REally sad about broccoli beef though, that was like one of my primary ways of eating veggies!!
