🌿 Clean the Broccoli: Begin by giving the broccoli a good wash. Trim off the flowers into bite-sized pieces. Lightly peel the broccoli stalks and slice them into diagonal medallions, ensuring that every part of the broccoli is ready to soak up the flavors.

💦 Add a Splash of Moisture: When the wok is no longer oily, inject a splash of water or chicken stock into the mix. Continue the rapid stir-fry, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Be ready to replenish water or chicken stock whenever the wok threatens to dry up, ensuring a juicy and tender result.
-
🍄 Introduce the Mushrooms and Garlic: Toss in the prepared mushrooms and the finely chopped garlic. Stir the symphony of ingredients together. Now, it’s time to add half of the oyster sauce, allowing its savory essence to infuse the dish. Cover the wok and let it simmer at medium heat for two minutes, letting the flavors dance and mingle.
-
🍯 Drizzle and Serve: The grand finale! Uncover the wok, and with a theatrical flourish, drizzle the remaining oyster sauce over the dish. This final touch will elevate the flavors to new heights. Serve this gastronomic masterpiece on a platter, inviting everyone to indulge in the harmony of tastes.
