🍲 Broccoli and Mushroom Stir-Fry
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or shiitake)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated (about 1 tsp)
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional but delicious)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (balances the flavors)
- 1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp water or vegetable broth (for steaming broccoli slightly)
- To garnish: sesame seeds, sliced green onions
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and vinegar. Set aside. - Cook the broccoli:
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add broccoli and 2 tbsp water. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove and set aside. - Cook the mushrooms:
Add another 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Add mushrooms and cook 4–5 minutes until golden and slightly caramelized. - Add aromatics:
Stir in garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Sauté 30 seconds until fragrant. - Combine everything:
Return broccoli to the pan. Pour in sauce mixture and toss well to coat.
Cook another 1–2 minutes until everything is glossy and heated through. - Finish & serve:
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve warm over rice, noodles, or quinoa.
🌿 Mediterranean Diet Option
To make it anti-inflammatory and Mediterranean-friendly:
- Use extra virgin olive oil only.
- Swap soy sauce for low-sodium tamari or liquid aminos.
- Skip oyster sauce; add a splash of balsamic vinegar for depth.
- Add chickpeas or tofu for protein.
- Serve over brown rice, farro, or whole-grain couscous.
Would you like me to give you a Mediterranean version of this stir-fry (same flavor, but lighter and anti-inflammatory)?
