Can You Cook with Frozen Broccoli?

Sure, you can use frozen broccoli. But as frozen broccoli haws it releases water. So you might have to add a little more seasoning to make it flavorful. Also, you’ll have a more “saucy” stir fry from all the water that was released. This saucy version isn’t a bad thing!
