Instructions
- Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets and set aside.
- Make the garlic sauce: mince garlic. Then in a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Whisk to combine.
- In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add sesame oil* and heat for a minute.
- Carefully add broccoli florets. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Then add garlic sauce. Stir well to coat broccoli.
- Cook for about 3 minutes, or until broccoli is desired tenderness. (The sauce will thicken and absorb into the broccoli.)
Notes
- *Oil-free option: Omit sesame oil and sauté with 3 Tbsp. vegetable broth/water instead, adding more as needed. Some flavor will be lost, but you can sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving if desired.
- For gluten-free: Use tamari.
