Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams broccoli
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the broccoli thoroughly. Cut the broccoli heads into small florets and peel and slice the stems into thin pieces. Set aside.
Peel and grate the ginger. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the pan, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and stems to the pan. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until the broccoli turns bright green and starts to become tender.
Pour the prepared sauce over the broccoli. Stir well to coat all pieces evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and sticks to the broccoli.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the broccoli for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish or over a bed of steamed rice for a light meal.
