Basic Ingredients- 1 head of fresh broccoli
- 10 frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 7 cloves of garlic
Seasoning Ingredients- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin or sake)
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin or sake)
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare one head of fresh broccoli. Cut the florets into bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat. Thoroughly wash the cut broccoli florets and pat them dry to remove excess water.
Step 2
Next, prepare 10 frozen shrimp. Thaw them in cold water, then rinse them under running water and drain well. It’s important to maintain the fresh flavor of the shrimp.
Step 3
Prepare 7 cloves of garlic and slice them thinly into slivers. Slicing the garlic into slivers will enhance its aroma when stir-fried, elevating the dish’s flavor.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce! In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 2 Tbsp cooking wine, 1/2 Tbsp sugar, and 1/2 Tbsp sesame seeds. Whisk everything together until well combined. A properly mixed sauce is key to a perfectly finished dish.
Step 5
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Once the garlic aroma releases, add the prepared shrimp and a pinch of black pepper. Stir-fry quickly until the shrimp turn pink.
Step 6
Once the shrimp are partially cooked and have changed color, add the prepared broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry briefly until the broccoli is slightly tender. Then, pour in the prepared sauce and toss everything together to ensure the sauce evenly coats all the ingredients. (Tip: Broccoli can become mushy if overcooked. If you prefer a crispier texture, stir-fry for a shorter time. If you prefer a softer texture, you can blanch the broccoli beforehand. Today, we’ll stir-fry it directly for a fresh texture!)
Step 7
Since we’re adding the broccoli raw, it’s best to cover the pan and let it cook. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 5 minutes with the lid on. This allows the broccoli to cook through while retaining moisture and becoming tender. Remove the lid and stir-fry for a little longer until the sauce thickens slightly, and your delicious Broccoli and Shrimp Stir-Fry is ready.
Step 8
Here is your ‘Stir-Fried Broccoli with Shrimp,’ a perfect harmony of nutritious broccoli and savory shrimp! The broccoli remains crisp because it wasn’t blanched, and the sauce, a blend of soy sauce and oyster sauce, offers a deep, non-overpowering flavor that enhances the natural taste of the ingredients. This super simple dish can be made in under 10 minutes with minimal ingredients. Enjoy a healthy and delicious meal!
