Ingredients
- 400 grams Broccolini
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Wash the broccolini thoroughly and trim the ends. If the stems are thick, slice them lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set them aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch to create the garlic sauce. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely.
Step 4
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the salt, and blanch the broccolini for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Step 5
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 6
If using red pepper flakes, stir them in now for a touch of heat.
Step 7
Add the blanched broccolini to the skillet and toss to coat it in the garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Pour the prepared garlic sauce over the broccolini and mix well to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
Step 9
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side or a light main dish.
