The Kamikaze Cook-Tip (Broccoli)

If you like the crunch of water chestnuts in Chinese food, but don't keep them around the house, you can use broccoli instead! Use the stem of the broccoli (another reason to buy the less expensive, full broccoli instead of just the crown) and cut off the outer green part of the stem. Slice the remaining part into poker chip size pieces and add towards the end of the cooking time. They're crunchy and healthy!
