Sometimes a simple and easy dish like a broccoli stir fry is enough is to awaken taste buds and give a satisfying feeling. Broccoli is designated a super food. It is loaded with fibre and is rich in Vitamin-C.
This green nutritious vegetable is not liked by many. But when made the right way it can be very tasty with minimal seasonings. This stir fry is simple yet flavourful.
It has ginger and garlic which provide heat and flavour along with sesame oil. Soya sauce adds the necessary saltiness and a swirl of honey added towards the end makes this sweet and sticky.
I made this dish to go with simple sesame noodles. Here I have used broccolini which are much thinner and have long stalks compared to broccoli. Broccoli is available in most supermarkets these days.
This dish takes less than 7-8 minutes including prep time. Super tasty, super healthy! Do try this dish from FOI. More Chinese dishes…
