Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams broccoli florets
- 200 grams button mushrooms
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 60 milliliters water
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets and mushrooms thoroughly. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces and slice the mushrooms thinly.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not burnt.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet along with the water. Cover with a lid and let the broccoli steam for 4-5 minutes, or until it becomes bright green and tender-crisp.
Remove the lid and stir in the soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Add red pepper flakes if you prefer a bit of heat.
Toss everything together for another 2-3 minutes on medium heat until the flavors meld together and the excess liquid evaporates.
Transfer the broccoli and mushrooms to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish or light main course.
