1. Prepare the Broccoli:
- If using fresh broccoli, steam or blanch the florets in boiling water for about 3-4 minutes until they’re bright green and tender but still crisp. If using frozen broccoli, just thaw it and drain excess water.
- Drain the broccoli and set it aside.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms:
- Heat the olive oil (or sesame oil) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released their moisture, turning golden brown. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper as they cook.
3. Add the Garlic:
- Add the minced garlic to the pan with the mushrooms and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Stir-Fry the Broccoli:
- Add the broccoli florets to the pan with the mushrooms. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the broccoli to heat through and absorb the flavors.
5. Add the Sauces:
- Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, and sesame oil (if using). Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. If you like some heat, sprinkle in the red pepper flakes at this point.
6. Final Seasoning:
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce, salt, or pepper if needed.
7. Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer the stir-fry to serving plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
