Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Begin by preparing the broccoli. Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and let them drain. You may cut any large florets into bite-sized pieces if needed.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until they are vibrant green and start to become tender crisp.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the pan, continuing to stir-fry until the sauce begins to thicken and evenly coat the broccoli.
Season with red chili flakes if using, then remove from heat.
Finish by drizzling sesame oil over the broccoli and tossing lightly.
Transfer the stir fry broccoli to a serving dish, and garnish with sesame seeds.
Serve immediately as a side or over steamed rice or noodles for a main dish.
