Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Slice the mushrooms and onion, and mince the garlic and ginger. Set all the ingredients aside for easy access.
Cook the Broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or sesame oil) in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir fry for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Mushrooms and Onion: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and onion, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are soft and browned.
Add Garlic and Ginger: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, sesame oil (if using), and cornstarch. Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
Combine and Stir Fry: Add the cooked broccoli back into the pan. Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables, stirring to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the vegetables evenly.
Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or noodles.

Notes

Add Protein: Add tofu, tempeh, or any choice of protein (chicken, shrimp, or beef) for a more filling meal.

Spicy Stir Fry: Add more red pepper flakes or sliced chili peppers for extra heat.

Sweet and Sour: Add honey or maple syrup for a sweet twist in the sauce.

Low-Sodium Option: Use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari to reduce salt content.
