Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup walnuts
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 stalk green onion, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Toast the walnuts: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, cornstarch, and water. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat the oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Cook the broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir fry for 4-5 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Add the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the broccoli. Stir well to coat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Step 6

Add the walnuts: Stir in the toasted walnuts and toss to combine.

Step 7

Serve: Remove the stir fry from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
