Sometimes, I add either a little dried shrimp or dried shrimp paste (Malaysian style "belachan"), but really, home grown purple sprouting broccoli is so flavoursome it doesn't need it.
And if you area feeling really ambitious, the broccoli stems can also be dipped into some tempura batter and deep fried.

Asian style garlic stir-fried Purple Sprouting Broccoli
Ingredients
Few bunches of Purple Sprouting Broccoli
Sunflower Oil (or a few knobs of butter)
1 - 2 cloves of garlic, chopped into small pieces.
Few pinches of Sea Salt
Place the oil (or butter) into wok on a medium heat.
Add garlic so that it sizzles, then add sea salt. Don't let the garlic brown (or it will turn bitter).
Quickly add the broccoli to the wok. At this stage, you can also a little water (no more than 1 - 2 tablespoons) to the wok.
Stir fry until the stems are tender.
* If you decide to add dried shrimp: Wash about five dried shrimp, and then add to wok at the same time as the garlic. You can add less salt if using shrimp. Dried shrimp are available from Chinese supermarkets.
