Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 large (peeled and julienned) carrot
- 1 medium (sliced) red bell pepper
- 3 stalks (sliced) green onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon (for garnish) sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables: cut broccoli into bite-sized florets, julienne the carrot, and slice the bell pepper and green onions. Set them all aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, julienned carrot, and sliced bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are bright and tender-crisp.
While the vegetables cook, in a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps as you stir it in with the vegetables. Stir-fry everything for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Pour the sauce mixture over the rice and vegetables. Stir well to ensure even coating.
Remove the pan from the heat. Top with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Serve hot as a main dish or a side. Enjoy your healthy and delicious Broccoli Rice Stir Fry!
