Equipment

  • Wok

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon shaoxing wine
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon white pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Wash the broccoli and set aside. Make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch into the water and use a spoon to stir until completely dissolved. Mince the garlic.
  • Bring about 6 cups of water to a boil in your wok and add the broccoli. Blanch for a minute, drain, and put the broccoli into cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Heat the wok over high heat. Once the wok is very hot, add the oil, garlic, broccoli, and wine. Stir fry for a minute and pour in the chicken stock. Let the mixture come to a boil.
  • Add salt, white pepper, and sesame oil and give it another quick stir. Stir in half of the cornstarch slurry and let the sauce cook and thicken until it coats the back of a spoon.
  • Add more slurry if it’s not thick enough. Plate and serve hot!

Notes

Blanching cooks the broccoli faster and makes the stir frying step quicker. You can also skip the blanching and steam in the covered wok with extra stock or water for a few minutes depending on desired crispness.
