This is my favorite way to eat broccoli. With this recipe, you can enjoy super crisp and flavorful Chinese restaurant style garlic broccoli stir-fry at home.
Bring a large pot of water to boil and add in broccoli. As soon as the broccoli is completely covered in water, drain from water and place into ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Add garlic and oil to wok and cook on high heat until garlic starts to brown.
Add in the broccoli. Stir and cook until broccoli is halfway done.
Add in the chicken broth so that there is more liquid in your wok to prevent the broccoli from burning. Season with salt and pepper. When broccoli is just cooked, add in the cornstarch and water to thicken sauce (completely dissolve cornstarch into the water before adding it, otherwise the cornstarch will clump up). The stir fry time should only take a few minutes, so you do need to work quickly or your broccoli will overcook and turn soft. Remove from heat and enjoy.
Notes
The stir-fry time should only take a few minutes (less than 5), so you do need to work quickly or your broccoli will overcook and turn soft.
