Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined; 4 cups broccoli florets (about 2 medium heads); 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated; ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce; 2 tablespoons oyster sauce; 1 tablespoon rice vinegar; 1 teaspoon sesame oil; 1 tablespoon brown sugar; ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional); 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water; 2 green onions, thinly sliced for garnish; 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Blanch the broccoli

Bring a pot of water to boil. Add broccoli florets and blanch for 2 minutes until bright green but still crisp. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Cook the shrimp

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Transfer to a plate.
Sauté aromatics

In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
Combine and stir-fry

Add the blanched broccoli to the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute. Return the shrimp to the wok. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss to coat everything evenly.
Thicken the sauce

Give the cornstarch mixture a quick stir and pour it into the wok. Stir constantly as the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve

Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
