Ingredients

• 500 grams broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the broccoli. Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and let them drain. You may cut any large florets into bite-sized pieces if needed.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until they are vibrant green and start to become tender crisp.

Step 6

Pour the cornstarch slurry into the pan, continuing to stir-fry until the sauce begins to thicken and evenly coat the broccoli.

Step 7

Season with red chili flakes if using, then remove from heat.

Step 8

Finish by drizzling sesame oil over the broccoli and tossing lightly.

Step 9

Transfer the stir fry broccoli to a serving dish, and garnish with sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side or over steamed rice or noodles for a main dish.
