Dad's 10-Minute Weeknight Broccoli

Ingredients

• 2 tsp salt
• 2 head broccoli
• 2 clove garlic
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce

Steps

1. 1

   In a basin of water and salt, wash and soak the broccoli floret side down, as all of the dirt and debris is in the florets.

2. 2

   Peel and smash the garlic cloves. In contrast to other recipes, we won't need to chop these further.

3. 3

   Drain and trim the broccoli. Cut through the stems (not the florets, otherwise the florets will get dispersed). If you're cooking for young kids, try to cut off more stem, since more of the bitter, pungent flavor notes of broccoli live in the stem.

4. 4

   Heat a wok on high, add about a tablespoon of oil, then add the smashed garlic cloves. Let the garlic bloom on high heat for 30 seconds.

5. 5

   Add salt to the garlic-infused water. Ideally, there is enough water to completely submerge the broccoli.

6. 6

   With a strainer or colander, transfer the broccoli to a pot of cold water. Drain, plate, and add oyster sauce. Mix it in once you're ready to eat!
