- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions
Toast the walnuts: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, cornstarch, and water. Set the sauce aside.
Heat the oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Cook the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir fry for 4-5 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the broccoli. Stir well to coat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
