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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Cut the broccoli into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Blanch the broccoli: This quick boiling and cooling process helps preserve the broccoli's bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will help you stir-fry the broccoli and walnuts evenly.
  • Heat the oil over high heat: This will help create a smoky flavor and prevent the broccoli from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the broccoli and walnuts to the pan: Stir-fry until the broccoli is tender and the walnuts are golden brown.
  • Add the sauce ingredients: Stir-fry for an additional minute or two, until the sauce has thickened and coated the broccoli and walnuts.
  • Serve immediately: Walnut broccoli stir-fry is best served hot, over rice or noodles.
