Description
Garlic Chili Broccoli & Mushrooms Stir-Fry is a quick, flavorful vegetable dish made with crisp-tender broccoli, browned mushrooms, fresh garlic, ginger, red chili, and a glossy savory sauce.
Ingredients
1 pound broccoli, cut into bite-size florets
10 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 fresh red chili, thinly sliced
2 green onions, sliced
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar
½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Instructions
1. Whisk the soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, honey or brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water together in a small bowl.
2. Add ¼ cup water to a large skillet and bring it to a simmer. Add the broccoli, cover, and steam for about 2 minutes, until bright green and just tender. Remove the broccoli and set aside.
3. Add the neutral cooking oil to the skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and most of their liquid has evaporated.
4. Add the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and sliced red chili. Cook for 30–45 seconds, until fragrant.
5. Return the broccoli to the skillet and toss with the mushrooms and aromatics.
6. Stir the sauce again, pour it into the skillet, and toss for 1–2 minutes until thickened and glossy.
7. Stir in the green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a wide skillet so the mushrooms have enough room to brown.
Reduce or omit the chili for a milder stir-fry.
Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
For a vegan version, use brown sugar or maple syrup instead of honey and check that the hoisin sauce is vegan.
Cooked leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or broth.
Freezing is not recommended because the vegetables may become soft after thawing.
