Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1.5 tablespoons Fermented black beans
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 120 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until dissolved, then set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fermented black beans and stir-fry for another 30 seconds, mashing them slightly with the back of a spoon to release their flavor.
Add the broccoli florets to the pan and toss to coat them in the aromatics. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and the cornstarch-water mixture. Stir well to combine.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the broccoli evenly. The broccoli should be tender-crisp.
Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with red chili flakes, if using, for a hint of heat.
Serve immediately on its own or alongside steamed rice.
