Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce substitute (or coconut aminos)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. Set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Peel and grate fresh ginger to measure 1 teaspoon.
In a small bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce substitute (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water. Stir well and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable or avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat them with the garlic and ginger mixture.
Pour the prepared sauce over the broccoli and stir well. Let the broccoli cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but still slightly crisp.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste and sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
Serve the stir-fried broccoli immediately, either on its own or as a side dish to complement your meal.
