Quick and flavorful garlic broccoli stir-fry, a healthy weeknight meal.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1/2 cup broccoli stems, thinly sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 red chili pepper, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash broccoli thoroughly. Cut florets and thinly slice stems; set aside.
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk cornstarch and water until smooth; set aside.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Stir-fry broccoli stems 3-4 minutes until softened. Add florets; stir-fry 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Add garlic and ginger; stir-fry 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chili pepper (if using); stir-fry 15 seconds.
  7. Pour soy sauce mixture over broccoli; stir-fry 1 minute.
  8. Slowly pour in cornstarch slurry, whisking constantly. Stir-fry 1 minute until thickened.
  9. Remove from heat. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions (optional). Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Do not overcook broccoli; it should retain some crunch.
  • Add more chili pepper or chili garlic sauce for extra heat.
  • Other vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or mushrooms can be added.
  • Substitute oyster sauce with fish sauce or omit; vegan oyster sauce works for a vegan option.
  • Leftovers store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
