Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add sesame oil, then sauté minced garlic and ginger for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the pan, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
Pour the orange-ginger sauce into the skillet, and toss the broccoli to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and glazes the broccoli.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish, if desired, and serve warm.
