Garlic Broccoli Stir Fry

Why you’ll love this recipe

• This is the fastest way to make vegetables taste like they came from a high-end Chinese restaurant.
• Blanching the broccoli first ensures it is perfectly cooked through while maintaining a vibrant green color and a “snap.”
• The sautéed garlic provides a massive punch of flavor with very little effort or oil.

Key Ingredients

• Broccoli Florets: High in vitamins and the perfect “vessel” for catching the garlic-soy sauce.
• Fresh Garlic: Use at least 3-4 cloves; you want the garlic to be a main flavor component, not just a garnish.
• Oyster Sauce (in the sauce mix): Adds a savory depth and a slight thickness that helps the dressing cling to the florets.

✅Quick Tips: Rinse the broccoli in cold water immediately after boiling to stop the cooking and keep that bright, emerald-green look.

Key Steps

• #1: Boil the broccoli for exactly 3 minutes—any longer and it will become mushy and lose its bite.

• #2: Sauté the minced garlic in oil until it’s fragrant and just starting to turn golden (don’t burn it!).

• #3: Toss the blanched broccoli back into the pan to coat every floret in the garlicky oil.
