Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Blanch the broccoli florets in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch. Stir well to form a smooth sauce mixture.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet and toss to combine with the garlic.
Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the broccoli and stir well to coat evenly.
Continue cooking for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the broccoli is heated through.
Season with black pepper to taste and give everything a final toss.
Remove from heat and transfer the broccoli in oyster sauce to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice.
