Tips:

Choose fresh broccoli: Look for broccoli with tight, firm florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets. Cut the broccoli into uniform pieces: This will ensure that the broccoli cooks evenly. Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the broccoli plenty of room to cook without overcrowding. Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the broccoli and prevent it from steaming. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally: Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute: This will infuse the broccoli with garlic flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. Serve immediately: Broccoli is best served hot and fresh.
