Main Ingredients- 1 head of broccoli (approx. 300g)
- 1/2 onion
- 2 Korean green chili peppers (Cheongyang peppers)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’ll share a recipe for delicious and nutritious broccoli stir-fry. Its satisfying crunch makes it a perfect companion for rice.
Step 2
Wash the broccoli thoroughly under running water. Add 1 Tbsp of vinegar and a pinch of coarse salt to boiling water. Briefly blanch the broccoli for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. This helps maintain its vibrant green color and sterilizes it. This method is more effective than soaking in water with salt for 30 minutes for initial cleaning. Quickly rinse in cold water and drain well. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
Step 3
Thinly slice the onion. Remove the seeds from the Korean green chili peppers and finely mince them. (If you like it spicy, you can leave the seeds in.)
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and sesame oil in a 1:1 ratio. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Add the sliced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent. The natural sweetness of the onion will infuse into the stir-fry, adding depth of flavor.
Step 6
Once the onion is translucent, add the oyster sauce and plum extract. Stir-fry for another minute until the sauces are well combined. The combination of oyster sauce and plum extract will elevate the broccoli’s flavor.
Step 7
Add the prepared broccoli to the pan and stir-fry quickly over high heat. It’s important to maintain the broccoli’s crispness, so avoid overcooking. Toss rapidly to ensure the sauce evenly coats the broccoli.
Step 8
Finally, sprinkle with black pepper for added aroma. Adjust with salt if needed (the oyster sauce is already seasoned, so taste before adding more salt).
Step 9
Turn off the heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for a nutty flavor and aroma. Your delicious broccoli stir-fry is complete! Its colorful appearance will brighten up your dining table.
