Ingredients

• 400 grams Broccolini
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the broccolini, cutting any thick stalks in half lengthwise if necessary to help them cook evenly.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Peel and grate the fresh ginger to yield one tablespoon.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Once the oil is heated, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 6

Add the broccolini to the skillet and toss to coat it in the ginger and garlic mixture.

Step 7

Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the broccolini to steam for 2-3 minutes until it starts to become tender but still vibrant green.

Step 8

Remove the lid and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, red chili flakes, and salt. Toss everything together to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 9

Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccolini is tender-crisp and the liquid has mostly evaporated.

Step 10

Transfer the broccolini to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.
