Ingredients

1 pound (455 g) broccoli
1 clove garlic, minced
2 coins fresh peeled ginger, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Good pinch of crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon Chinese light soy sauce, or more to taste
Pinch of sugar

Method

Morning or Evening

Cut off the broccoli stalks and save them for another use (fried rice is a good one, or cut them into sticks for dipping into hummus or other dips). Cut into small florets, chopping the stems into roughly ½-inch (12-mm) pieces. Put the garlic and ginger in a large skillet or sauté pan and add the oil.

Evening

Place the skillet over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the garlic and ginger are golden, about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and crushed red pepper, ½ cup (120 ml) water, and the soy sauce, and sprinkle with the sugar. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is just tender, about 5 minutes. Add more soy sauce, if needed, then serve.
