- Add garlic (and ginger, if using), stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 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.

🌿 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.
