Broccoli Stir Fryer

I really enjoy using this recipe with most Chinese dishes. However, it also pairs well with Pork Chops or a baked/grilled Chicken Breast. Alternatively, you could make the Chinese Broccoli Stir Fry recipe and serve it with rice for a vegetarian dinner. When we prepare Stir Fry Broccoli stems, we often make Air Fryer Shrimp and Snow peas recipe as well. I have tried this recipe with the broccoli heads, and it is equally delicious.

If using broccoli heads, double the sauce that is listed in this recipe for best results.

Preparing broccoli is easy and only takes about 5 minutes. Follow these simple steps to get it right:

1. Cut the ends off the broccoli stems and peel back the outer layer. Then, cut the stems into bite-size pieces.
2. Boil lightly salted water in a pot and add the broccoli stems. Cook for 2 minutes or until the broccoli turns bright green and becomes tender.
3. If you want to use the broccoli heads, remove the stems from the pot and add the heads. Boil them for no more than 1 minute.
4. Save ½ cup of the water for later use. That's it! Your broccoli is now ready to serve.

Stir-fry the ginger for one minute, then add the sauce and cornstarch mixture. Toss the broccoli stems in the sauce and serve.

 

This broccoli stir fry recipe is incredibly simple to prepare, as you can see.

TIP: Whenever we make Chinese food, we make sure to grab all the seasonings and measure out all the sauces beforehand. Usually, measuring out the spices takes up most of the time when making Chinese food.
