Ingredients

• 3 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 cups Button mushrooms
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (neutral, like vegetable or canola)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Black bean garlic sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Oyster sauce (optional for extra umami)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the mushrooms, and julienne the red bell pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the black bean garlic sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved and the sauce is smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 5

Toss in the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms and red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 7

Pour the prepared black bean garlic sauce into the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.

Step 9

Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Step 11

Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
