Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 50 grams almonds, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and pat them dry.
Step 2
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove the almonds from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic-chili oil. Let them cook for 2 minutes.
Step 5
Mix the soy sauce, honey, and water in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the broccoli and toss well to combine. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 6
Season the broccoli with salt and black pepper to taste, and give it a final stir.
Step 7
Transfer the broccoli to a serving plate and sprinkle the toasted almonds on top. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
