Ingredients
1 lb broccoli florets
10 oz sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cooking oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Cook the broccoli: Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 30 seconds, then drain and rinse with cold water.
Stir-fry: Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
Add the sauce: Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir continuously until the sauce thickens.
Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
Tips for Success
Want to level up your stir-fry game? Here are a few helpful tips:
Use a wok if possible: The high sides and even heat distribution make stir-frying easier.
Don’t overcrowd the pan: Mushrooms need space to brown, not steam.
Pre-measure everything: Stir-fries move fast—have your ingredients ready before you start cooking.
