Vegetables

  • 4 cups broccoli florets

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Cooking Instructions

  • Wash the broccoli and set aside. Make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch into the water and use a spoon to stir until completely dissolved. Mince the garlic.
  • Bring about 6 cups of water to a boil in your wok and add the broccoli. Blanch for a minute, drain, and put the broccoli into cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Heat the wok over high heat. Once the wok is very hot, add the oil, garlic, broccoli, and wine. Stir fry for a minute and pour in the chicken stock. Let the mixture come to a boil.
  • Add salt, white pepper, and sesame oil and give it another quick stir. Stir in half of the slurry and let the sauce cook and thicken until it coats the back of a spoon. Add more slurry if it’s not thick enough. Plate and serve hot!

Notes

Chinese restaurants blanch the broccoli first to cook it faster and enhance the flavor. You can skip blanching by steaming the broccoli in the covered wok instead.
