Anyone know of a good beef and broccoli recipe that doesn’t include sugar in the sauce?

there is no such thing as a sauce without sugar in it.
therefore, you'd have to just not use sauce.

you can't make any asian recipes properly if you don't use sugar

except like, dumplings, maybe

You can try to infuse your soy sauce with ginger and maybe some orange juice, but that's just adding different sugar. Sugar of some kind is essential to the sauce.

I used Better Than Bouillon. Half Sautéed Onion and half Seasoned Vegetable Base flavors. When I cooked the beef I added green onions and mushrooms.

Yeah, just add less sugar, or none at all, you God-damned fucking moron.

the sweetness of the sugar counteracts the bitterness of the broccoli.

if you dont want sugar then pick a less bitter vegetable to cook it with

Why do asian sauces use sugar in them, anyways? Why do they like sweets so goddamn much?

This is my favorite beef and broccoli/oyster sauce beef recipe

I make a few adjustments including adding fish sauce but this is a good starting place

As others said, you really need sugar, it balances the saltiness

If you are going for healthy, either just use an extremely small amount of sauce, or just leave it out completely

In the case of China, it's a thing primarily in Southern China. Shanghai was an economic power house with a tropical climate, so they grew a lot of sugarcane. Later, the main source of immigrants to the US was from the south, and brought the food with them.
Northern Chinese food is not anywhere near as sweet.

Maybe you need to start eating apples again. It may be attracted by the sugar.

Yeah, just don't add the sugar. It wont taste the same but it will get the job done.

That has high fructose corn syrup.
I used to use Coconut Aminos to cut out all the soy which is more detrimental than sugar. You could also just use a sugar substitute like erythitrol or allulose which dissolves better in liquids if you're concerned about sugar.

it's still technically sugar but the juice of half of an orange/tangarine/mandarine/etc.. will do the trick in a typical asian american sauce

sugarcane is native to southeast asia and can be grown pretty easily in local regions there, so they all got their hands on it pretty early on in their history. Due to the ability for it to be grown close by it was not nearly as much of a luxury item as it was in the western world, and it just became a commonly used ingredient over time
