Ingredients

Scale

Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp vegetable broth

  • 1½ tbsp light soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

  • ½ tsp dark soy sauce

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

  • ½ tsp sesame oil

Slurry:

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • 2 tbsp water

Stir-Fry:

  • 1 lb broccoli, cut into bite-size florets

  • Pinch of salt

  • 2½ tbsp peanut oil

  • ½ lb button mushrooms, sliced

  • 4 dried Chinese chili peppers

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp minced ginger

  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce and Slurry:
    Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. In another small bowl, stir together cornstarch and water for the slurry.

  2. Steam the Broccoli:
    Heat ¼ cup water in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it boils, add broccoli and a pinch of salt. Cover and steam for 1 minute. Uncover, stir until broccoli is al dente and water evaporates. Transfer broccoli to a plate.

  3. Cook the Mushrooms:
    Wipe the pan clean and add 2 tbsp oil. Heat over high heat, add mushrooms, and sear for 1 minute without stirring. Flip and cook 2–3 minutes until browned and juices evaporate.

  4. Aromatics:
    Move mushrooms to one side of the pan. Add remaining ½ tbsp oil, chili peppers, garlic, ginger, and green onions. Stir until chili peppers turn dark red, then combine with mushrooms.

  5. Combine and Finish:
    Return broccoli to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir for 30 seconds. Stir the slurry until smooth and add to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens. Transfer to a plate and serve hot.

Notes

  • Gluten-free: Use tamari instead of soy sauce.

  • Add crunch: Sprinkle sesame seeds or cashews on top before serving.

  • Extra flavor: Add a splash of rice vinegar or a few drops of chili oil for heat.

  • Meal prep: Store in an airtight container and reheat gently over low heat.
