Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut small, uniform-size flowerets from the stalks of broccoli. Peel the stalks and slice them on an angle about half an inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, vinegar and sesame oil in a bowl and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or a skillet. Add the garlic, then the broccoli flowerets and stem pieces, and stir-fry until crisp-tender, three to five minutes. Pour in the reserved sauce mixture, stir-fry briefly, then serve.

Cooking Notes

Made this but it did not compare with my local Chinese restaurant sauce. Too salty even using low sodium soy sauce. Will keep looking for a perfect sauce

This is a good recipe, especially if you add a tablespoon of Chinese rice wine or sherry, before the sauce mixture at the end. Very fast and easy, and delicious.

I agree, too salty, even though I had read the notes and cut back on oyster sauce. Still, it was good and I’ll make it again. Will look for other suggestions on how to control the salt level.

Cut the oyster sauce in half, otherwise it is too salty

Made it using coconut aminos instead of soy, and we liked it pretty well. I probably could have used even less sauce. I'll make it again, because it's definitely fast and easy.
