Broccoli Mushroom Stir Fry (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Stir Fry

01 - 2 cups (300 g) broccoli florets
02 - 2 cups (250 g) sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
03 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or sesame oil for added flavor
04 - 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
05 - 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)

→ For the Sauce

06 - 3 tablespoons soy sauce
07 - 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
08 - 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
09 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
10 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch
11 - 3 tablespoons water

→ Optional Garnish

12 - Sesame seeds
13 - Chopped green onions

# Instructions:

01 - In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and set aside for later.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, stirring often. Add about 2 tablespoons of water to help steam the broccoli slightly, making it tender with a light crunch. Once done, remove from the pan and set aside.
03 - Using the same skillet, pour in the remaining oil and heat it over medium-high. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 4–5 minutes until they become golden brown and tender.
04 - Return the broccoli to the skillet with the mushrooms. Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger if using. Stir-fry everything together for 1 minute to release the aromas of the garlic and ginger.
05 - Pour the pre-made sauce over the vegetables and mix thoroughly to evenly coat everything. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the broccoli and mushrooms perfectly.
06 - Transfer your stir fry to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions, if desired. Serve it hot on its own or over a bed of rice or noodles for a complete meal.

# Notes:

01 - You can add your choice of protein, such as tofu, cooked chicken, or shrimp, for a heartier dish.
02 - For a gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
03 - Feel free to include other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas to add variety to the dish.
