Sesame Garlic Broccoli Stir-Fry

Cut the broccoli into florets, removing the tough stem.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 2-3 minutes, just until they turn bright green. Drain and put in ice bath.

In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Add the broccoli to the pan and stir to coat with the garlic and oil.

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey (if using). Pour this sauce over the broccoli, stirring to combine.

Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still slightly crisp.

Sprinkle the broccoli with sesame seeds, red pepper flakes (if using), and sliced green onions (if desired).

Serve warm as a side dish.
