Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Add the broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the broccoli. Stir well to coat all the florets.
If desired, sprinkle the red chili flakes for a hint of spice. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with sesame seeds if desired and serve hot, either as a side or over steamed rice or noodles.
