Ingredients

• 4 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha sauce, and cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water to create a smooth sauce.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring frequently for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sprinkle with salt. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp. Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness level.

Step 6

Push the broccoli to one side of the skillet and pour the prepared sauce into the center. Stir the sauce constantly for 1-2 minutes until it begins to thicken.

Step 7

Combine the broccoli with the sauce, ensuring all florets are well coated. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

Step 8

Sprinkle sesame seeds and, if desired, crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat. Stir lightly to mix.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve the spicy honey sesame broccoli immediately, either on its own or alongside rice, noodles, or your favorite protein.
