Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) broccoli florets – Cut into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  • 10 oz (280 g) sliced mushrooms – White button or cremini mushrooms work best.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced – For a fragrant, aromatic touch.
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce – The base for the savory sauce.
  • 2 tsp sesame oil – Adds a nutty depth of flavor.
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar – For a tangy contrast.
  • 1 tsp sugar – Balances the flavors.
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes – Optional, for a spicy kick.
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch – Helps thicken the sauce.
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil – Use a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil.
  • Salt and pepper to taste – Adjust to your preference.

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sauce:
    In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch until smooth. Set it aside.
  • Blanch the Broccoli:
    Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 30 seconds. Immediately drain and rinse the broccoli under cold water to stop the cooking process and preserve its texture.
  • Sauté the Mushrooms:
    Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add the sliced mushrooms to the hot oil and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Add Garlic for Aroma:
    Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic to the other side. Stir for about 30 seconds, then mix with the mushrooms.
  • Combine the Broccoli and Sauce:
    Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet with the mushrooms. Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and stir everything together for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the vegetables.
  • Adjust and Serve:
    Taste the stir fry and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or a splash of soy sauce if needed. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

Notes

  • If you prefer your broccoli softer, you can sauté it with the mushrooms instead of blanching it.
  • Add a protein like tofu, chicken, or shrimp to make this a complete meal.
  • For a more intense flavor, use low-sodium soy sauce or add a splash of hoisin sauce.
