Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 piece red chili (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
If using the red chili, slice it thinly and set aside for garnish.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and water. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender.
Pour the sauce mixture over the broccoli, stirring to coat evenly. Allow to cook for another 2 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
Remove from heat. If desired, garnish with sliced red chili and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve immediately as a side dish or pair with steamed rice for a complete meal.
