Ingredients

• 400 grams Broccolini
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccolini thoroughly and trim the ends. If the stems are thick, slice them lengthwise to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves finely and set them aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch to create the garlic sauce. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely.

Step 4

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the salt, and blanch the broccolini for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

If using red pepper flakes, stir them in now for a touch of heat.

Step 7

Add the blanched broccolini to the skillet and toss to coat it in the garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Pour the prepared garlic sauce over the broccolini and mix well to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side or a light main dish.
