• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable or avocado oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Peel and grate fresh ginger to measure 1 teaspoon.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce substitute (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water. Stir well and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable or avocado oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Step 7

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat them with the garlic and ginger mixture.

Step 8

Pour the prepared sauce over the broccoli and stir well. Let the broccoli cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but still slightly crisp.
