Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Broccoli
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 whole Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 whole Green onions
Instructions
Begin by preparing the broccoli. Wash the head of broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets. Peel the stalk and slice it into thin rounds.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Chop the green onions into small rounds and set them aside for garnish.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it is shimmering.
Add the garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the broccoli florets and sliced stalks to the pan, followed by the red bell pepper strips. Toss everything together to coat with the oil and garlic.
Pour in the low sodium soy sauce and sprinkle the ground black pepper over the vegetables. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green and the bell peppers are slightly softened.
Serve the stir-fried broccoli immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a fresh and nutty finish.
