Ingredients

⅓ cup minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons sesame oil
8 - 9 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 batch of homemade stir fry sauce
unsalted white rice for serving

Instructions

In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and heat to medium
Add the minced garlic and cook for 3 - 5 minutes, stirring often, until garlic begins to brown
Add the broccoli florets and stir fry sauce to the skillet and cook an additional 10 - 15 minutes, stirring often, until broccoli is desired texture (I prefer mine with a little crunch, so right around 10 minutes was perfect)
Serve over unsalted white rice (see notes below)

Notes

This recipe and amount of sauce is intended to be served over unsalted white rice for even distribution of saltiness and flavor.

If you serve this over salted rice or noodles, it will be far too salty. Or alone without rice, it will be too salty. The sauce is very concentrated and goes a long way!

I do not recommend using powdered garlic or jarred garlic for this recipe.

Frozen broccoli is also not recommended as it would be mushy and watery in this recipe.
