- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 piece red chili (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Step 2
If using the red chili, slice it thinly and set aside for garnish.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and water. Stir well to combine and set aside.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 7
Pour the sauce mixture over the broccoli, stirring to coat evenly. Allow to cook for another 2 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
Step 8
Remove from heat. If desired, garnish with sliced red chili and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
