  • Sesame seeds Lightly toasted sesame seeds enhance flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing to coat the broccoli evenly.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Ensure you use fresh broccoli for the best taste and texture. Adjust garlic quantity according to preference; roasted garlic can add a sweet flavor. Don’t overcrowd the pan; this allows the broccoli to crisp up nicely.
