Instructions:

1. Prep veggies: Wash and cut broccoli into small florets. Slice mushrooms evenly. Mince garlic.

2. Heat oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.

3. Sauté garlic: Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Cook mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.

5. Add broccoli: Toss in broccoli florets and stir well. If the pan gets too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water to help steam the broccoli a bit.

6. Season: Add soy sauce (or tamari), oyster sauce (if using), black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for another 3–4 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.

7. Finish with flavor: Drizzle with sesame oil just before removing from heat.

8. Serve hot as a side dish or light main meal with rice, noodles, or on its own.

Tips:

• For extra protein, toss in some tofu, shrimp, or chicken!

• Don’t overcook the broccoli — you want it vibrant and a little crunchy.

• Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra flavor.
