🥦 Sautéed Mushroom & Broccoli Stir-Fry

Serves: 2–4
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 10 min

Ingredients

• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or shiitake)
• 2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, minced (optional)
• 2–3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp water or vegetable broth (optional, for steaming)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional garnish: sesame seeds, sliced green onions

Instructions

1. Prep vegetables:
   • Wash and cut broccoli into bite-sized florets.
   • Slice mushrooms evenly.
2. Heat oil:
   • In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sauté aromatics:
   • Add garlic (and ginger, if using), stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Cook vegetables:
   • Add broccoli florets and stir-fry 2–3 minutes.
   • Add mushrooms and continue to stir-fry 3–5 minutes until mushrooms are browned and broccoli is tender-crisp.
   • Add water or broth if needed to help steam broccoli.
5. Add sauce:
   • Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing to coat evenly.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve:
   • Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions.

🌿 Tips & Variations

• Add protein: Toss in tofu, chicken, or shrimp for a complete meal.
• More flavor: Add a splash of rice vinegar or a teaspoon of hoisin sauce.
• Spicy option: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha.
• Other veggies: Bell peppers, snow peas, or carrots work well in this stir-fry.

I can also give a one-pan, 10-minute version that keeps the broccoli extra crisp and mushrooms perfectly caramelized if you want an ultra-fast stir-fry.
