Savory Broccoli Stir Fry

Ingredients

Sesame seeds

1 tablespoon, for garnish

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Soy sauce

3 tablespoons

Ginger

1 tablespoon, freshly grated

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Broccoli

4 cups, cut into florets

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing until they release their aromatic essence, about 1 minute.
3. Introduce the broccoli florets to the skillet, stir frying for 5-7 minutes until they reach a tender-crisp state.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to create a deliciously tangy sauce.
5. Pour this sauce over the stir fried broccoli, tossing to ensure every floret is coated evenly.
6. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and permeate the broccoli.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds for a delightful crunch.
8. Serve this savory broccoli stir fry hot, either as a flavorful side dish or as a light main course over steamed rice.
