Ingredients

• 4 cups Broccoli
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets. Peel and finely mince the garlic.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, cornstarch, brown sugar, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still crisp. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt while cooking.

Step 6

Give the prepared sauce a quick stir to make sure the cornstarch is fully incorporated, then pour it into the pan with the broccoli.

Step 7

Stir well to coat the broccoli evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
