Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha sauce, and cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water to create a smooth sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring frequently for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sprinkle with salt. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp. Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness level.
Push the broccoli to one side of the skillet and pour the prepared sauce into the center. Stir the sauce constantly for 1-2 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Combine the broccoli with the sauce, ensuring all florets are well coated. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and, if desired, crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat. Stir lightly to mix.
Remove from heat and serve the spicy honey sesame broccoli immediately, either on its own or alongside rice, noodles, or your favorite protein.
