Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Broccolini
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and trim the broccolini, cutting any thick stalks in half lengthwise if necessary to help them cook evenly.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Peel and grate the fresh ginger to yield one tablespoon.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is heated, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the broccolini to the skillet and toss to coat it in the ginger and garlic mixture.
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the broccolini to steam for 2-3 minutes until it starts to become tender but still vibrant green.
Remove the lid and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, red chili flakes, and salt. Toss everything together to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccolini is tender-crisp and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
Transfer the broccolini to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.
