Here’s a simple, tasty Broccoli and Mushroom Stir-Fry you can make in about 20 minutes.
🥦🍄 Broccoli & Mushroom Stir-Fry
🧾 Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups mushrooms (sliced)
- 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small onion (sliced, optional)
- 2 tbsp cooking oil (olive oil, sunflower, or sesame oil)
🥣 Sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional but adds depth)
- 1 tsp sugar or honey
- 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice
- 2–3 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce)
👨🍳 Instructions
- Prep the vegetables
Wash broccoli and mushrooms. Cut broccoli into small florets and slice mushrooms evenly. - Blanch broccoli (optional but recommended)
Boil for 2 minutes, then drain. This keeps it bright green and slightly tender. - Heat the pan
Add oil to a wok or large pan on medium-high heat. - Sauté aromatics
Add garlic (and onion if using). Stir for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. - Cook mushrooms
Add mushrooms and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until they soften and release moisture. - Add broccoli
Toss in broccoli and stir well. - Add sauce
Mix sauce ingredients in a bowl, pour into the pan, and stir everything together. - Cook and thicken
Let it cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce coats the vegetables nicely.
🍽️ Serving ideas
- With steamed rice 🍚
- With noodles 🍜
- Or as a side dish with chicken, fish, or tofu
💡 Tips
- Don’t overcook broccoli—it should stay slightly crunchy
- Add chili flakes if you like heat
- A few drops of sesame oil at the end boosts flavor a lot
If you want, I can also make a spicy version, a low-sodium version, or a restaurant-style garlic sauce upgrade.
