Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 oz broccoli florets
- 8 oz mushrooms
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse 8 ounces of mushrooms and 2 cups of broccoli florets under cold water. Pat them completely dry using paper towels to prevent steaming during cooking.
- Slice mushrooms into uniform ¼-inch thick pieces to ensure even cooking and attractive presentation.
- Chop broccoli into bite-sized pieces approximately 1 inch wide, discarding the tough stem bottoms.
- Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat for 2 minutes until surface becomes extremely hot. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Drop mushroom slices into hot oil, spreading them in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown edges develop.
- Stir mushrooms gently and continue cooking for another 2 minutes to create deep caramelization.
- Push mushrooms to one side of the pan and add broccoli florets directly onto the hot surface.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper over vegetables. Sauté broccoli for 3 minutes, tossing occasionally.
- Mix mushrooms and broccoli together, coating them evenly with seasonings and oil.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of soy sauce over the vegetables, stirring quickly to distribute flavors.
- Remove from heat after 1 more minute of cooking. Transfer immediately to a serving plate to prevent overcooking.
- Garnish with optional chopped green onions for additional flavor and color contrast.
Notes
- Select fresh, firm mushrooms without soft spots or discoloration for the best texture and flavor.
- Cut broccoli and mushrooms into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent bite.
- Use high heat and a wok or large skillet to achieve that classic stir-fry sear and prevent vegetables from becoming soggy.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari and ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
