Ingredients

• 500 grams broccoli florets
• 75 grams walnuts
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger using a fine grater.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, water, cornstarch, and red chili flakes. Stir well to create the sauce and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the broccoli florets and stir-fry them for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the sesame oil and toss in the walnuts. Toast the walnuts for 1-2 minutes until they are fragrant and slightly golden.

Step 8

Push the walnuts to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic and ginger to the other side. Sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic, taking care not to burn them.

Step 9

Return the broccoli to the skillet and pour in the prepared soy-cornstarch sauce. Mix everything together until the sauce coats the broccoli and walnuts evenly.

Step 10

Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish or pair it with rice or noodles for a light meal.
