Sautéed Mushroom and Broccoli Stir-Fry Recipe

Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and dry the broccoli and mushrooms. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and slice the mushrooms thinly.
Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cook the Vegetables: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften. Next, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture.
Season the Stir-Fry: Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle in the red pepper flakes. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Finish and Serve: Remove the stir-fry from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and texture. Serve hot as a standalone dish or alongside rice, noodles, or your favorite protein.

High Heat is Key: Stir-frying works best with high heat to quickly cook the vegetables while preserving their crunch and color.
Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots to make the dish even more colorful and nutritious.
Make it a Meal: Add tofu, chicken, or shrimp for a heartier version of this recipe.
