Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups broccoli florets (firm, bright green)
  • 1 ½ cups button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sauces & Oils

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari / low-sodium soy sauce / coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil (for stir-frying)

Others

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure uniform cooking. Mince the garlic and ginger finely for a smooth flavor infusion.
  2. Heat the Pan: Warm a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and once hot, sauté the minced garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Cook Mushrooms and Broccoli: Add the sliced mushrooms first, tossing for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Then add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp and vibrant green.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, red chili flakes (if using), and cornstarch slurry. Pour this sauce over the vegetables, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly and smoothly.
  5. Finish and Serve: Top the stir fry with sliced green onions and give it one last toss. Serve hot over steamed rice, noodles, or enjoy on its own as a quick, healthy meal.

Notes

  • Use high heat for quick cooking to lock in freshness and texture.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed to avoid steaming the vegetables.
  • Cut ingredients uniformly to ensure even cooking and an appealing presentation.
  • Add sauce gradually and stir continuously to avoid clumps and achieve a glossy finish.
  • Fresh garlic and ginger are essential for authentic and vibrant flavors.
  • Optional garnishes: toasted sesame seeds, chopped fresh cilantro, and a wedge of lime to brighten flavors.
  • Leftovers keep up to 3 days in an airtight container refrigerated and reheat well with a splash of water or soy sauce.
  • Freeze in small portions up to 1 month; mushrooms may soften after thawing.
