Ingredients

• 500 grams broccoli
• 120 milliliters orange juice
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1.5 tablespoons fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1.5 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and cut the broccoli into small, even-sized florets. Peel and finely grate the ginger and garlic.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the grated ginger and garlic, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Toss the broccoli florets into the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. If needed, add a splash of water to help steam the broccoli.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared orange-ginger sauce over the broccoli. Stir well to coat the broccoli evenly.

Step 7

Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the broccoli.

Step 8

Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Transfer the stir-fried broccoli to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal.
