Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli
- 120 milliliters orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and cut the broccoli into small, even-sized florets. Peel and finely grate the ginger and garlic.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set the sauce aside.
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the grated ginger and garlic, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss the broccoli florets into the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. If needed, add a splash of water to help steam the broccoli.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared orange-ginger sauce over the broccoli. Stir well to coat the broccoli evenly.
Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the broccoli.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Transfer the stir-fried broccoli to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal.
