Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 8 ounces Egg noodles (or any preferred noodles)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 6 cups Water
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, chop the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets if not already done.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender. If the broccoli needs more time to cook, add a splash of water and cover the skillet for 2 minutes to steam.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and sesame oil. If you like some spice, add the red pepper flakes.
Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the noodles and broccoli, and toss well to combine everything evenly.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well-heated and coated in the sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
