A quick and flavorful side dish featuring a medley of vegetables stir-fried with garlic and soy sauce, topped with toasted almonds for a delightful crunch.
Heat a drizzle of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Using sesame oil adds a nutty aroma to the dish.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Keep stirring the garlic to ensure even cooking.
Add the broccoli slaw mix to the skillet and stir-fry until it begins to soften but remains crisp.
Covering the skillet briefly can help steam the vegetables for faster cooking.
Stir in the soy sauce and brown sugar, mixing well to coat the vegetables evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed at this stage.
Toast the sliced almonds in a small pan over medium-low heat until golden and fragrant.
Keep shaking the pan to prevent the almonds from burning.
Transfer the stir-fried slaw to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the toasted almonds, and serve warm.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crunchiness of the almonds.
