Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and pat them dry. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and chili flakes (if using).
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the neutral oil and sesame oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly charred in spots.
Step 6
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the broccoli and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the broccoli.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice for a light meal.
