Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables:
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
Cooking Oils and Fats:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Sauce Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Create a vibrant sauce by whisking soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and brown sugar in a small mixing bowl. Let the mixture rest and allow flavors to meld.
- Warm vegetable oil in a spacious wok or skillet using medium-high temperature, ensuring even heat distribution.
- Introduce broccoli florets to the hot surface, sautéing them quickly to maintain their vivid emerald color and crisp texture. Toss and rotate the florets for approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate sliced mushrooms and onions into the wok, continuing to stir and flip the ingredients to prevent sticking and promote uniform cooking.
- Infuse the mixture with aromatic elements by adding minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Quickly stir these ingredients to release their intense flavors without burning.
- Stream the prepared sauce over the vegetables, ensuring complete and thorough coating. Gently maneuver the ingredients to distribute the sauce evenly.
- Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken, creating a glossy glaze that clings to each vegetable piece. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the vegetables reach a perfect tender-crisp consistency.
- Transfer the stir-fry to a serving platter, accompanied by steamed rice or noodles. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds or chopped green onions for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- Slice vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the stir fry.
- Maintain high heat while cooking to quickly sear vegetables, preserving their crisp texture and vibrant color.
- Prepare ingredients beforehand to prevent burning or overcooking during the fast-paced stir frying process.
- Customize the dish for dietary needs by using tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free option or adding protein like tofu or chicken.
