My adoptions:
Use Gai Lan (stem and leaves) chopped bite sized for broccoli.

Reduce honey or omit and use Jufran in it's place (I want it less
sweet).  In a pinch, use a not very sweet ketchup with a little Korean
red pepper flake or Perivian Chile Lime to give a nice heat (but not
too much, both can pack a lot of heat so I use pinches).

That sounds like a tasty, simple stir-fry (as long as the broccoli isn't
cooked soft).  I had to look up Jufran, I've never head of it.  Banana
catsup?

The story goes that banana ketchup was invented in the Philippines
during WWII because of a shortage of tomatoes. If you can turn bananas
into ketchup, why the heck wouldn't you? I have heard that Jollibee
spaghetti is made with banana ketchup. If you can turn bananas into
Filipino spaghetti sauce, that would be just awesome.
