Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into small, bite-sized florets. Peel the stalk and slice it into thin pieces if using.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the broccoli florets and stalk pieces (if using) to the skillet. Stir well to coat the broccoli with the garlic and oil.
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the broccoli steam for 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes bright green and slightly tender.
Remove the lid and stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
