Garlic Broccoli Stir Fry
Description
The preparation begins by boiling broccoli florets briefly in salted water with sesame oil to retain color and initiate cooking. Without draining, the broccoli is transferred to a wok where chopped garlic is fried slowly over low heat to release aroma. The broccoli is added next and stir-fried over higher heat with salt and oyster sauce or a combination of soy sauce and sugar to provide savory and slightly sweet seasoning.
This cooking method keeps the broccoli tender but crisp and bright green, with the oyster sauce adding umami depth and the garlic giving a fragrant base aroma. A finishing touch of sesame oil adds a hint of nuttiness on the palate. The dish is served warm as a simple vegetable side that complements a variety of main courses.
