Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets. Peel and finely mince the garlic.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, cornstarch, brown sugar, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Set the sauce aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still crisp. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt while cooking.
Give the prepared sauce a quick stir to make sure the cornstarch is fully incorporated, then pour it into the pan with the broccoli.
Stir well to coat the broccoli evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
