Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
- Prep your broccoli: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. You can also peel the stems if desired.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the broccoli from cooking evenly.
- Use a high-heat oil: A high-heat oil, such as grapeseed oil or canola oil, is best for stir-frying. This will help to prevent the broccoli from sticking to the pan.
- Stir-fry in batches: If you're cooking a lot of broccoli, you may need to stir-fry it in batches. This will ensure that all of the broccoli cooks evenly.
- Season to taste: Once the broccoli is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.

Ginger and garlic broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses.
