Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- Pinch of sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
- 1 head broccoli (1 1/2 pounds), cut into long florets
Directions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and 1 tablespoon water.
-
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high. Add
garlic and broccoli. Cook, tossing occasionally,
until broccoli is bright green, about 3
minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and
cook until broccoli is tender but still
has some bite, about 2 1/2 minutes. Add
oyster sauce mixture; cook until thickened,
about 1 minute.

this was lovely although I don't think I used enough broccoli, I wanted to use up what I had! Therefore the water was a bit too much and sauce could have been thicker... but it was delicious, I served it with thai fishcakes and a homemade chunky salsa. Yum!
EWjunk: Oyster sauce is very similar to soy sauce, but thicker, its not very "fishy" at all. I think you picked up something else
super quick. super easy. super good! i added a teaspoon of siracha sauce for some spice.
sauce smelled awful (like rotten, fermented seafood), tasted awful too. I guess oyster sauce is a taste I have not acquired!
