Directions
Step 1
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Blanch the broccoli florets in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch. Stir well to form a smooth sauce mixture.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet and toss to combine with the garlic.
Step 8
Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the broccoli and stir well to coat evenly.
Step 9
Continue cooking for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the broccoli is heated through.
Step 10
Season with black pepper to taste and give everything a final toss.
Step 11
Remove from heat and transfer the broccoli in oyster sauce to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice.
