Equipment

  • chopping board
  • Kitchen knife
  • Saucepan
  • sieve
  • wok or non stick frying pan

Ingredients

  • 400 g head of broccoli (cut into florets)
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 4 spring onions (sliced and divided)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and cook the broccoli for 2 minutes. Then take off the heat and drain in a sieve.
  • Meanwhile, heat up a wok to hot and add the sunflower oil. When the oil is hot add the broccoli florets, garlic, and half the spring onions.

Notes

This simple method of cooking can also be used to cook a variety of other vegetables, including leafy greens (try pak choy, kale and spinach),  aubergine (eggplant), zucchini, or mixed peppers.
Stir-fried broccoli is best served hot, straight from the pan, as reheating it later can result in the broccoli overcooking and becoming soggy.
