→ Protein
02 - 2 strips bacon, cut into small pieces
→ Aromatics
03 - 4 to 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
→ Sauces and Seasonings
04 - 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
05 - 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
→ Thickener
06 - 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
→ Liquids
07 - 1/3 cup water
→ Oils and Salt
08 - 3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
09 - Pinch of salt for boiling water
# How-To Steps:
01 - Bring a pot of water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Add broccoli florets and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until tender and bright green. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add bacon pieces and cook until crisp and golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving approximately 2 tablespoons oil in the pan.
03 - Add chopped garlic to the remaining oil and sauté over medium heat until fragrant and golden, taking care not to burn. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pan and stir continuously for 10 seconds until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
04 - Add the drained broccoli to the pan and toss to coat evenly in the garlic sauce. Sprinkle crispy bacon over the top and toss briefly to combine. Serve immediately.
