How to Make Stir-Fried Shiitake Mushrooms with Broccoli

Stir-fried shiitake mushrooms with broccoli is a nutritious and delicious dish that’s quick to prepare. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to make it at home.

Ingredients:

- 200g fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced

- 300g broccoli, cut into florets

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tsp oyster sauce (optional)

- 1/2 tsp sugar

- 2 tbsp vegetable oil

- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Blanch broccoli florets in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water to retain crispness. Pat shiitake mushrooms dry.

2. Stir-Fry Mushrooms: Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until golden. Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same wok, add garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

4. Combine and Season: Return mushrooms to the wok, add blanched broccoli, and toss. Drizzle with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until well-coated.

5. Serve: Transfer to a plate and enjoy hot with rice or noodles.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a pinch of sesame oil or chili flakes. This dish balances earthy mushrooms with crisp broccoli, making it a healthy and satisfying meal.
