  • 1½ cups mushrooms (button or shiitake), sliced

  • 2 green onions, finely chopped

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional but recommended)

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp honey or brown sugar

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix:

  • Soy sauce

  • Oyster sauce

  • Sesame oil

  • Honey

  • Vegetable stock

  • Cornstarch

Whisk well and set aside.


2️⃣ Blanch the Broccoli (Optional but Recommended)

Boil broccoli in salted water for 1–2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
This keeps it bright green and tender-crisp.


3️⃣ Sauté the Mushrooms

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms and sauté 3–4 minutes until golden and slightly caramelized.


4️⃣ Add Aromatics

Add garlic, ginger, and chili flakes.
Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn the garlic).


5️⃣ Combine Everything

Add broccoli to the pan.
Pour in the prepared sauce and toss well.

Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.


6️⃣ Finish & Garnish

Add black pepper and green onions.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Serve hot.
