Teriyaki Broccoli

Here, by request, is a recipe for broccoli stalks!

Peel and slice the stalks into "coins." Marinate for 30 minutes in enough prepared teriyaki sauce to cover the stalks. Drain. Stir-fry stalks in a lightly-oiled skillet on medium high heat until coins start to brown. Toss in some diced bell pepper and pineapple chunks. Stir-fry another 2-3 minutes. Mmmm!
