Steps:
- Combine broth, sake, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch and sugar in a bowl & set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick wok or skillet over medium heat; add oil. Once the oil is warm, add garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the broccoli (and any other vegetables if desired) and stir-fry for 3 minutes or so, until slightly tender. Add the sauce mixture and stir constantly until sauce boils and thickens. Serve once sauce and broccoli reach desired thickness and tenderness.
BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND SOY SAUCE
Steps:
- Put the garlic cloves and oil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the garlic is browned and tender. Turn off the heat and add the red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Immediately pour into a heat-proof container to stop the cooking. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- For the salad, blanch the broccoli florets in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 to 3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain well and immerse immediately into a large bowl of ice water until the broccoli is cooled. This process stops the cooking and sets the bright green color. Drain well.
- In a large bowl, toss the broccoli with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup of the oil used to cook the garlic, the soy sauce, and 8 or more cloves of cooked garlic. Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH TAHINI GARLIC SAUCE
One of my favorite Middle Eastern mezze is deep-fried cauliflower served with tahini garlic sauce. I decided to try the dish with broccoli, but instead of deep-frying the broccoli I roasted it, a method that requires a lot less oil. The buds on the broccoli florets toast to a crispy brown, and the texture of the stalk remains crisp. It goes wonderfully with the classic and irresistible tahini garlic sauce.

Steps:
- In a mortar and pestle mash the garlic clove to a purée with a generous pinch of salt. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the sesame tahini. Whisk in the lemon juice, beginning with the smaller amount. The mixture will stiffen up. Gradually whisk in up to 1/3 cup water, until the sauce has the consistency of thick cream (or runny yogurt). Taste and adjust salt.
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the broccoli crowns 1/3 inch thick, letting the flower buds on the edges fall off. Peel any large pieces of stem by gently pulling away the thick skin, then toss the slices and the unattached buds with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast until the tops are nicely browned, stirring and flipping the large slices over (tongs are a good tool for this) after 8 minutes, roasting about 15 minutes total. Remove from the oven and transfer to a platter or to individual serving plates. Drizzle on the tahini sauce and serve, or serve the tahini sauce in small bowls for dipping.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Broccoli: Select fresh, vibrant green broccoli with tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilting florets.
- Blanch the Broccoli: Blanching the broccoli before stir-frying helps retain its vibrant color and crisp-tender texture.
- Prepare the Garlic Sauce: Make sure the garlic sauce is well-seasoned and has the right balance of flavors. Adjust the amount of soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar to suit your taste.
- Stir-Fry Quickly: Stir-fry the broccoli over high heat for a short duration to prevent it from becoming overcooked and mushy.
- Use a Well-Seasoned Wok: A well-seasoned wok helps distribute heat evenly and prevents the broccoli from sticking.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the stir-fried broccoli with garlic sauce hot to enjoy its best flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
This stir-fried broccoli with garlic sauce is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. It is a great way to enjoy this nutritious vegetable and can be served as a side dish or as a main course with rice or noodles.
