»add 4-5 tbsp soy sauce and 1 1/2 cups of broth, cover and simmer on low heat for 40 mins.
»add peas and cook for 5 mins, add carrots cook for 5 mins, add broccoli and cook for 10 more mins. ( or until veggies are done to just under your liking)
»mix remaining cornstartch with 1/3 cup broth, stir into meat and veggies.
