SIMPLE BROCCOLI STIR-FRY



Simple Broccoli Stir-fry image

Stir-frying has stood the test of time. It's a wonderful way to cook small pieces of vegetables and meat quickly, without a lot of fat. Prepping your ingredients ahead of time and having them near your stovetop is the key to success. This recipe can be made in a large nonstick skillet, but consider purchasing a wok: Carbon steel and cast-iron take on high heat well, and the concave shape makes stir-frying foods easy and fast.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large bunch broccoli (about1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable or peanut oil
1 scallion, chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic, chopped (about 2 teaspoons)
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped (about 2 teaspoons)
Pinch to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Cooked white or brown rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Trim the florets off the broccoli, and cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the broccoli stalks with a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin, and slice 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal. Set aside.
  • Whisk together 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, cornstarch and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat a large wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, and swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil begins to smoke, add the broccoli florets and stems. Cook, stirring constantly, until browned around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water to steam the broccoli, and cook, stirring constantly, until tender, about 2 minutes more. Push the broccoli to the edges of the pan, forming an empty well in the center. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, then the scallions, garlic, ginger and pepper flakes, and stir until aromatic, 30 to 45 seconds. Add the soy mixture, and stir until the sauce has thickened and the broccoli is coated, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, add the sesame oil and stir to coat. Serve with rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for long-stem broccoli with tight florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into 2-3 inch pieces, including both the florets and the stems. The stems should be peeled before cutting.
  • Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli helps to preserve its color and crispness. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender. Immediately remove the broccoli from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for stir-frying. Make sure your wok is well-seasoned and heated over high heat before adding the ingredients.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you are cooking a large amount of broccoli, stir-fry it in batches. This will prevent the broccoli from overcrowding the wok and becoming soggy.
  • Use a light touch: When stir-frying, use a light touch and toss the broccoli gently. This will help to prevent the broccoli from breaking up.
  • Season to taste: Season the broccoli with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or oyster sauce for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Wok-fried long-stem broccoli is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor and nutrients. By following these tips, you can make sure that your wok-fried broccoli is perfectly cooked and delicious.
