Ingredients

• 1 head Broccoli
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 0.5 whole Red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 2 whole Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the broccoli. Wash the head of broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets. Peel the stalk and slice it into thin rounds.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Chop the green onions into small rounds and set them aside for garnish.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it is shimmering.

Step 4

Add the garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets and sliced stalks to the pan, followed by the red bell pepper strips. Toss everything together to coat with the oil and garlic.

Step 6

Pour in the low sodium soy sauce and sprinkle the ground black pepper over the vegetables. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green and the bell peppers are slightly softened.

Step 7

Serve the stir-fried broccoli immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a fresh and nutty finish.
