Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the broccoli by washing it under cold water, draining, and cutting into bite-sized florets if not done already.
Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to become hot, but not smoking.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant, making sure it does not burn.
Add the broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry them for 5-7 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stir to coat the broccoli evenly. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl.
Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish to your main course.
