SIMPLE BROCCOLI STIR-FRY



Simple Broccoli Stir-fry image

Stir-frying has stood the test of time. It's a wonderful way to cook small pieces of vegetables and meat quickly, without a lot of fat. Prepping your ingredients ahead of time and having them near your stovetop is the key to success. This recipe can be made in a large nonstick skillet, but consider purchasing a wok: Carbon steel and cast-iron take on high heat well, and the concave shape makes stir-frying foods easy and fast.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large bunch broccoli (about1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable or peanut oil
1 scallion, chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic, chopped (about 2 teaspoons)
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped (about 2 teaspoons)
Pinch to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Cooked white or brown rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Trim the florets off the broccoli, and cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the broccoli stalks with a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin, and slice 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal. Set aside.
  • Whisk together 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, cornstarch and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat a large wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, and swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil begins to smoke, add the broccoli florets and stems. Cook, stirring constantly, until browned around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water to steam the broccoli, and cook, stirring constantly, until tender, about 2 minutes more. Push the broccoli to the edges of the pan, forming an empty well in the center. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, then the scallions, garlic, ginger and pepper flakes, and stir until aromatic, 30 to 45 seconds. Add the soy mixture, and stir until the sauce has thickened and the broccoli is coated, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, add the sesame oil and stir to coat. Serve with rice.

The Best Easy Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry image

I clipped this recipe from Taste of Home magazine several years ago and have found it to be the best-tasting easy beef and broccoli stir-fry. It is credited to Ruth Stahl. I often use charcoal chuck steak, which is very tender and lean. I also like that it doesn't call for any unusual ingredients.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender broccoli: Look for broccoli with deep green florets and firm stalks. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets: This will ensure that the broccoli cooks evenly.
  • Parboil the broccoli for a few minutes before stir-frying: This will help to retain the broccoli's bright green color and prevent it from becoming too soft.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet for stir-frying: This will help to create a nice sear on the broccoli and Spam.
  • Stir-fry the broccoli and Spam in a single layer: This will prevent the ingredients from steaming instead of stir-frying.
  • Add the sauce ingredients towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve the broccoli and Spam stir-fry immediately: This is a dish that is best enjoyed fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Broccoli and Spam stir-fry is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The combination of broccoli and Spam may seem unusual, but it is surprisingly delicious. The Spam adds a salty and savory flavor to the dish, while the broccoli provides a fresh and crunchy contrast. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
