Broccoli garlic stir fry
Broccoli garlic stir fry
A quick weekday dinner recipe. If you steam / cook broccolis in advance,then the recipe just takes 5 minutes to put together. Broccoli stores/ freezes well in the fridge.
Ingredients:
Broccoli- 1 medium stalk
Garlic - 6 medium to large Cloves
Red Onion -1 large sliced into medium sized pieces
Soy sauce -1 table spoon
Oil-2 table spoon
Salt and pepper
Red schezwan sauce or home made chilly sauce - 2 table spoon
Method:
Cut the broccoli into small florets. Don't throw the stem/stalk, they are nutritious, slice them into very thin Juliennes. Microwave the stalk with one table spoon water for a minute to soften it. Into a pan add the broccoli florets ,add water and let it Blanche (soften ). Once the stalk is out of the microwave,add that as well to the pan. We have done this step of microwaving the stem to give it a cooking heads up, you see the stalk takes longer to cook so if we add it along with the florets then there are chances of overcooking the same. Once the broccoli s are fork tender ( not mushy) , remove it to a bowl. Now to the pan. Add 2 table spoon oil, immediately add garlic slices and saute till a light smell of garlic waft up. Now add onion and fry it for a minute. Add salt and pepper to taste and continue frying till it's light brown. Add the broccoli pieces and then add soy sauce and chilly sauce and continue stirring till the sauce seems to be well absorbed. If you like a little gravy then you can mix one teaspoon cornflour in quarter cup of water and add to the pan(you may need to add an additional spoon of chilly sauce as well ,it depends on the spice level you like).
Serve immediately with either chapattis or hot rice or even with noodles.
For home made chilly sauce, I will post another recipe.
Thanks for reading.
