Instructions
-
Blanching the Broccoli and Mushrooms:
Start by blanching the broccoli and mushrooms. In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the chopped broccoli florets. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes, then quickly drain the water and transfer the broccoli into cold water to stop the cooking process. Follow the same procedure to blanch the mushrooms. -
Cooking the Vegetables:
In a wok or kadhai, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic cloves and sautΓ© them until they turn light brown and aromatic. -
Adding the Soy Sauce:
Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the low-sodium soy sauce. Allow the sauce to boil for about a minute, enhancing the flavors. -
Stir-frying the Vegetables:
Add the blanched broccoli florets, chopped mushrooms, and bell pepper strips to the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables on high heat, making sure to mix them well and cook them until the broccoli becomes crunchy and the water from the vegetables evaporates. -
Adding the Bean Sprouts:
Once the vegetables are cooked, add the bean sprouts to the wok. Stir everything together, ensuring that the bean sprouts are well-coated with the sauce and mixed with the other vegetables. -
Seasoning the Stir Fry:
Season the stir fry with salt to taste. Be cautious when adding salt, as the soy sauce already contains some salt. Taste and adjust accordingly. -
Serving:
Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, turn off the heat and serve the Broccoli Mushroom Bean Sprouts Stir Fry immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with a refreshing Guacamole Soup for a light, healthy meal.
This simple stir fry is not only easy to make but also versatile. You can serve it with other main courses or enjoy it as a standalone dish.
