Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and set them aside to drain.
Step 2
In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Step 4
Sprinkle in the red chili flakes and stir for another 10 seconds to release their flavor.
Step 5
Add the broccoli florets to the pan and toss to coat them evenly with the garlic and chili.
Step 6
Pour in 2 tablespoons of water and cover the pan with a lid. Let the broccoli steam for 3-4 minutes until it's just tender but still crisp.
Step 7
Remove the lid and drizzle 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the broccoli. Toss everything together to combine.
Step 8
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes to help everything blend together.
Step 9
Transfer the chili garlic broccoli to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy as is!
