Sometimes simplicity is the best. Although I love my roasted veggies with their heavenly char, this garlic broccoli stir fry is one of my favorite broccoli dishes.<\/p>\n

\"Use<\/p>\n

Simply separate the broccoli florets, sear them in garlic infused olive oil, pour in chicken broth, and braise while covered until tender. That\u2019s it! The florets are soaked with a flavorful broth that makes you want to devour a whole head of broccoli within minutes.<\/p>\n

The dish is inspired by a dish I had in Dali Courtyard, a hidden Yunnan restaurant in the old Hutongs of Beijing. But, instead of using a wok, I chose to use a large flat carbon steel skillet because it heats up 10x faster on my electric stove than my wok, which has a tiny contact surface area.<\/p>\n

\"Use<\/p>\n

The braising part is the key. Compared to your usual oven roasting method or blanching, this recipe does not require you to heat up the oven, or boiling a pot of water. So, you save extra 15 minutes, plus you can finish up cooking in one pan! The hot pan will steam the broccoli in a minute, and lightly crisp up the garlic at the same time. The cooking is as simple as steaming broccoli in a microwave, but the result is heavenly.<\/p>\n

For a light dinner, I sometimes simply throw some leftover chicken into the pan and let it heat up with the veggies \u2013 and then I have dinner in 5 minutes!<\/p>\n
