Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Broccoli
- 200 grams Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets.
If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw it ahead of time. If using canned corn, drain and rinse the kernels.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and begin to soften.
Add the corn kernels and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until both the broccoli and corn are tender but still crisp.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables, and sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Toss everything well to evenly coat.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from the heat and transfer the stir-fried vegetables to a serving dish.
Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice for a light meal.
