Ingredients

  • 12 ounces broccoli florets
  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 garlic cloves finely minced or pressed
  • tablespoons chili sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil

Instructions

  • Add olive oil to a medium-size sauté pan over medium-low heat. Once the oil is hot, add the broccoli florets and coat the broccoli with the olive oil for 2 minutes.
  • Add ¼ cup of water to the pan. Cover and simmer for 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove the cover and add the minced garlic, chili sesame oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 3 minutes on low heat, stirring gently. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. You’ll find that after the broccoli has had a chance to simmer in the pan, the broccoli becomes soft and tender. Be very careful mixing the broccoli in the pan! Literally once you add the seasoning and sauces, you only need to give the florets a quick stir and you’re done!
