Ingredients

• 400 grams broccoli
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccoli thoroughly. Cut the broccoli heads into small florets and peel and slice the stems into thin pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and grate the ginger. Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the pan, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the broccoli florets and stems to the pan. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until the broccoli turns bright green and starts to become tender.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce over the broccoli. Stir well to coat all pieces evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and sticks to the broccoli.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the broccoli for garnish.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or over a bed of steamed rice for a light meal.
