Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 8 ounces Egg noodles (or any preferred noodles)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 6 cups Water
• 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles cook, chop the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets if not already done.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender. If the broccoli needs more time to cook, add a splash of water and cover the skillet for 2 minutes to steam.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and sesame oil. If you like some spice, add the red pepper flakes.

Step 7

Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the noodles and broccoli, and toss well to combine everything evenly.

Step 8

Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well-heated and coated in the sauce.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced scallions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
