Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb broccoli florets
- 10 oz mushrooms
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Rinse your broccoli florets and slice mushrooms into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Warm 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add 10 ounces mushrooms to hot pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges turn golden brown.
- Push mushrooms to one side of the wok and add 1 lb broccoli florets directly onto hot surface.
- Sauté broccoli for 2-3 minutes, allowing slight charring and maintaining crisp texture.
- Mince 2 garlic cloves and sprinkle them across vegetables, stirring quickly for 30 seconds.
- Whisk ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a small bowl.
- Pour sauce mixture over vegetables, tossing rapidly to coat every piece within 2-3 minutes.
- Season with ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer steaming stir fry immediately to serving plate, ensuring vegetables remain vibrant and crisp.
Notes
- Blanch broccoli briefly in boiling water before stir-frying to maintain a crisp texture and vibrant green color.
- Use a hot wok or skillet to get a nice golden-brown sear on mushrooms, which adds depth of flavor to the dish.
- For a protein boost, add cubed tofu, cooked chicken, or shrimp during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Customize the sauce with low-sodium soy sauce or tamari to make the recipe gluten-free and reduce salt intake.
