I have always been curious about tender stem broccoli. Always imagined how crispy and tasty it would be to cook it but at the same time have no clue how to go about it.
Of all the years (which is pretty short :) ) that I've been cooking, variations of stir fry has always been my go-to when I have no clue how to handle veggies.
So I thought, oyster sauce, garlic, hot wok... what could go wrong? Seems like nothing! :) It was delicious!
Yes it's not cheap. Definitely double than a full blown broccoli but it's worth it. Perfect side dish for most main.
Ingredients:
knob of butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 packs of tender broccoli
1/2 cup oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
sauteed button mushrooms (optional)
Procedure:
Cut off ends of tender stems and using a peeler, shave off tough parts of broccoli'
Chop florets and stems. Setting aside florets for the time being.
Heat olive oil for a few seconds and then add butter to melt.
Add garlic bits and fry until it's aromatic but not burnt.
Add chopped stems and stir fry for 3 minutes or just until it's almost half cooked. Add the florets and stir fry for another 3 minutes. Add oyster sauce and stir fry for another minutes.
Turn off the heat and add sesame oil. Leave broccoli on the pan to cook more in residual heat. Add sauteed mushrooms if you want.
