A vibrant and flavorful stir-fry featuring broccoli and bell peppers, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and avoid crushing the broccoli.
Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 2 minutes, then cool under cold water and drain.
Blanching helps retain the vibrant green color and crisp texture of the broccoli.
Slice the bell pepper into thin strips and chop the onion finely.
Cut the vegetables evenly for uniform cooking.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the bell pepper strips and stir-fry for 2 minutes, adding chicken stock if needed.
Add a splash of stock to deglaze the wok and enhance the flavor.
Add the blanched broccoli and stir-fry until heated through.
Toss the broccoli gently to avoid breaking the florets.
Drizzle with soy sauce, mix well, and serve immediately.
Serve hot to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
