1 ½ cups mushrooms, sliced 🍄
Aromatics:

3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
Fats:

2 tbsp olive oil or butter 🧈
Sauces & Seasoning:

1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) 🥢
½ tsp black pepper ⚫
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional) 🌶️
1 tsp sesame oil (for extra flavor) 🌿
1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, for umami) 🍶
1 tbsp water

Equipment:

Large skillet or wok
Wooden spoon or spatula
Knife and cutting board

 

Instructions:

Prep the Ingredients:

Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
Slice the mushrooms evenly for consistent cooking.
Mince the garlic and set aside.
Heat the Pan:

In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter over medium heat.
Allow it to reach a shimmering state, which indicates it’s hot enough for cooking.
Cook the Garlic:

Add the minced garlic to the pan.
Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the Vegetables:

Incorporate the sliced mushrooms and broccoli florets into the skillet.
Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp, and the mushrooms have released their moisture.
Season the Stir-Fry:

Pour in the soy sauce (or tamari), black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Drizzle in the sesame oil and oyster sauce (if using), then add 1 tablespoon of water.
Toss the vegetables well to ensure they are coated in the sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Taste and Adjust:

Taste the stir-fry and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more soy sauce for saltiness or more red pepper flakes for heat.
Serve:

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.
Enjoy immediately over steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles!

 

Tips and Variations:

Protein Additions: For added protein, consider including tofu, chicken, or shrimp. If adding protein, cook it first before adding the vegetables.
Additional Vegetables: Feel free to incorporate other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots for more color and nutrients.
Flavor Boost: For an extra flavor punch, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar or a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
