Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Canola oil 1 tbsp
Fresh ginger, minced 1 tbsp
Garlic cloves, minced 2 cloves
Broccoli florets 2 cups
Soy sauce 2 tbsp
White wine vinegar 1 tbsp

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Sauce:
    In a small mixing bowl, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and white wine vinegar. Set aside.

  2. Cooking:

    • Heat canola oil in a wok or large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
    • Add minced garlic, ginger, and almonds (if using), and sauté until golden and fragrant.
  3. Add Broccoli:

    • Add broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and starting to become tender.
  4. Incorporate Sauce:

    • Pour in the prepared sauce (chicken broth, soy sauce, vinegar mixture) over the broccoli.
    • Toss the broccoli and garlic mixture to coat evenly.
  5. Finish Cooking:

    • Continue to stir-fry the broccoli for another 3-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  6. Serve:

    • Remove from heat and serve the Ginger & Garlic Broccoli Stir Fry immediately, garnished with additional sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.

Tips for Success:

  • Vegetable Preparation: Ensure the broccoli florets are evenly sized for even cooking.
  • Sauce Consistency: Adjust the cooking time slightly to achieve your desired level of sauce thickness.
  • Variations: Feel free to add protein such as tofu, chicken, or shrimp to make it a complete meal.
  • Storage: This stir fry is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
