Step 1

Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and set them aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, and honey to create the glaze base.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and begin to soften. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour the orange glaze mixture over the broccoli and stir to coat evenly.

Step 8

Give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir and pour it into the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 9
