Ingredients
Scale
For the broccoli:
- 1 lb broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons water
For the sauce:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
Instructions
- Blanch the broccoli: Heat 1” water in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until boiling. Add the broccoli. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes, until al dente. Drain the broccoli and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce: Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Cook the garlic sauce: Wipe the pan clean and heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ginger and garlic. Stir and cook for 30 seconds to release fragrance.
- Combine and serve: Add the broccoli. Stir and cook for 1 minute, until coated evenly with oil and the extra moisture from blanching has been cooked off.
