Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh broccoli
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1.5 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons oil
  • Optional: 2 teaspoons reduced sodium soy sauce*

Instructions

  • Cut broccoli florets and stems into bite-sized pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl along with the water.
  • Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
  • While the broccoli is cooking place the ginger, garlic, and oil in a large fry pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium. (Do not heat the pan before adding the oil, ginger and garlic!)
  • Gently stir until the garlic and ginger begin to sizzle and jump. This usually takes 1 to 3 minutes.
  • When the garlic just starts to turn slightly brown on the edges, immediately add the broccoli. (Be careful not to get any of the remaining water into the pan.)
  • Cook for 2 to 3 minutes stirring frequently to distribute the garlic and ginger.
  • Remove from the heat and serve.

Notes

Make this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free tamari sauce instead of soy sauce.
