"My husband and I were hosting a small backyard get together, and were getting ready to take everything out to the deck to eat, when I realized we didn't really have much of a vegetable to serve. I opened the fridge and saw a bag of broccoli slaw and just threw this together. It was a hit! Our neighbor begged me for the recipe, so I decided I'd better post it before I forget what I did! Measurements of oil, garlic, and soy sauce are approximate. This is a simple, fresh side dish with a nutty-garlic flavor. Adjust to your personal preferences. I've never cooked with sesame seeds, but I'd be curious to see how they would work in this dish, in place of the pine nuts. Prep time is for toasting pine nuts, but this can easily be done while stirfrying the broccoli slaw as well. (In a separate pan, of course!)"

ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli coleslaw mix
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

directions
- Heat sesame oil in large skillet or wok.
- Add garlic. Sautee garlic slightly, infusing oil with garlic flavor. Monitor heat carefully to avoid burning.
- Add broccoli coleslaw, and stir fry until crisp-tender. (I cheated and put the cover on my skillet for a little while to speed things along with a little steam).
- Add soy sauce and splenda, and continue to cook until splenda is disolved and liquid is absorbed. Taste test, and determine whether or not you'd like to add more splenda, soy sauce, or salt and pepper. Adjust seasonings accordingly.
- Place in serving bowl, and top with toasted pine nuts. Toss slightly, but no so much that pine nuts drop all the way to the bottom of the bowl.
- Note: To toast pine nuts, I placed them in a heavy pan, over medium-low heat, and tossed and shook the pan to keep them moving, until they started to show some browning and until they started to smell toasted and more intense.

This is fantastic! I realized I was out of soy sauce, so I used teriyaki sauce and it was delicious! I did roast the pine nuts in the oven. I served it with 7 grain organic rice and sautéed baby shrimp, and it was a delicious meal! I need this at least once a week!

Did a few little tweaks (coconut aminos not soy), sesame seeds (not pine nuts) & added canned salmon (had on hand). it was great! So simple & my husband LOVED it! He is a great cook..I, on the other hand..im still learning. So a great confidence building recipe!

I added shrimp and used sesame seeds instead. I think next time I'll add bean sprouts!

If you don't have or can't use nuts try water chestnuts! They give you that fun crunch and are always fabulous in stir-frys. Love idea about adding pineapple too.

Delicious! I mostly followed the recipe, but didn't have pine nuts so left them out. I also added a pinch of red pepper flakes and a bit of ginger for flavor. To make this a meal I stirred in 8 oz of tofu and warmed it thru before serving. Low carb, wonderful stir fry. I didn't miss either the noodles or the rice of a traditional stir fry. Thanks for sharing.
