Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and dry the broccoli florets thoroughly. Set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the garlic and oil.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the broccoli and stir well to combine.
Pour in the soy sauce and water, and stir to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the broccoli steam for 4-5 minutes, until it becomes tender but still crisp.
Remove the lid and season the broccoli with salt and black pepper. Stir well.
Sauté the broccoli uncovered for 1-2 more minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate and develop a slight char.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli. Stir to combine.
Serve hot as a side dish or as a flavorful addition to rice or noodles.
