Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and set them aside to drain.
In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Sprinkle in the red chili flakes and stir for another 10 seconds to release their flavor.
Add the broccoli florets to the pan and toss to coat them evenly with the garlic and chili.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of water and cover the pan with a lid. Let the broccoli steam for 3-4 minutes until it's just tender but still crisp.
Remove the lid and drizzle 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the broccoli. Toss everything together to combine.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes to help everything blend together.
Transfer the chili garlic broccoli to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy as is!
