How to Make Garlic Broccoli

Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★

Essential Ingredients and Tools

  • 1 head of broccoli
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • Light soy sauce
  • Oyster sauce
  • White sugar

Calculation

Determine how many servings you want to prepare before each cooking session. One serving is sufficient for 2 people.

Per serving:

  • Broccoli: approximately 200 g (about 1/2 of a medium-sized head)
  • Garlic: 3-4 cloves
  • Light soy sauce: 10 ml
  • Oyster sauce: 5 ml
  • White sugar: 2 g

Instructions

  • Cut the broccoli into small florets and wash them thoroughly.
  • Peel the garlic, mince it, and set aside.
  • Add 1000 ml of drinking water to a pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Add the broccoli and boil on high heat for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli turns bright green and becomes tender.
  • Remove the boiled broccoli, drain the water, arrange it on a plate, and set aside.
  • Heat a pan and add 10 ml of cooking oil. Once the oil temperature rises, add the minced garlic and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant.
  • Add 10 ml of light soy sauce, 5 ml of oyster sauce, 2 g of white sugar, and 30 ml of drinking water.
  • Bring the sauce in the pan to a boil.
  • Pour the prepared garlic sauce evenly over the broccoli on the plate.

Additional Notes

  • Do not blanch for longer than the recommended time to avoid affecting the texture and nutritional value of the broccoli.
  • If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can shorten the blanching time.
