Ingredients
- Broccoli florets: 1 pound
- Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
- Oyster sauce: 1 tablespoon
- Sesame oil: 1 teaspoon
- Cornstarch: 1 teaspoon
- Water: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Step 1: Steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. You can also blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain.
- Step 2: While the broccoli is steaming, prepare the garlic sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water.
- Step 3: Heat the olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat.
- Step 4: Pour the garlic sauce into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Step 5: Add the steamed broccoli to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the garlic sauce.
- Step 6: Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover broccoli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, gently stir-fry the broccoli with a splash of water until warmed through, preventing it from drying out.
- Serve this flavorful broccoli as a vibrant side dish alongside grilled chicken or tofu for a complete and healthy meal.
- For an extra flavor boost, lightly toast the minced garlic in the olive oil for 30 seconds before adding the sauce ingredients.
