Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and pat them dry. Set aside.

Step 2

Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the stems and seeds.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, sprinkle with the salt, and toss to coat in the garlic oil.

Step 7

Pour the water into the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the broccoli steam for 3 minutes to soften slightly.

Step 8

Remove the lid, add the sliced bell peppers, and stir everything together.

Step 9

Cook uncovered for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften but still retain a slight crunch.

Step 10

Drizzle the soy sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle with black pepper. Toss to combine.

Step 11

Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or over rice for a light meal.
