Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Start by rinsing the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice. Mix well to form a spicy marinade.
Add the broccoli florets to the mixing bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are evenly coated.
Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated broccoli along with any remaining marinade. Stir-fry the broccoli for about 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently until the broccoli is tender and lightly charred.
Season the broccoli with salt and black pepper, stirring one last time to ensure even flavor distribution.
Transfer the fiery broccoli to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro for garnish before serving.
