Simple Stir-Fried Broccoli
The easiest (less than 15 minutes!) and most delicious broccoli stir-fry recipe to add to your dinner rotation.
Servings: 4 People
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large head broccoli (trimmed and cut into florets; about 6 to 7 cups)
- 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons finely minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (preferably less sodium; or to taste)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 5 minutes until it turns bright green with some brown spots. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 1 more minute until the broccoli is almost tender, then add ½ cup water and cover the pan. Allow to steam for another 2 to 3 minutes until the broccoli is crisp and tender.
- Remove the lid, add the soy sauce, and stir to combine, allowing most of the liquid to evaporate. Serve hot.
Notes
You can cut the broccoli into large or small florets as you wish. The bigger the florets, the more time they will take to become tender (or crisp-tender, depending on how you like your broccoli). But don’t throw out those stems! They are just as delicious as the broccoli. Once you cut the tops into florets, trim the bottoms from the stems, peel off the tough outer skin from the stems, and cut the peeled stems into 1/2-inch slices. Add those right in with the florets. No waste, and more broccoli for you.
