Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth or water
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets. Slice the mushrooms and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic and ginger.
- Blanch the broccoli: Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for about 2 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and ginger and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- Cook the mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Add the broccoli: Add the blanched broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to combine with the mushrooms and aromatics.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and vegetable broth or water. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly.
- Thicken the sauce: Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle in the red pepper flakes.
- Season and garnish: Season the stir-fry with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Tips
- For added protein, you can include tofu, chicken, or shrimp in the stir-fry. Simply cook the protein separately and add it to the skillet along with the broccoli.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for more color and variety.
- This stir-fry is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
