Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of broccoli, chopped
  • 34 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 4 strips smoky bacon, chopped
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or soy sauce)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water
  • Salt, to taste
  • Olive oil, as needed

Instructions

  • Step 1: Boil the Broccoli
    Bring water to a boil with a pinch of salt and a splash of olive oil. Boil broccoli for 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
  • Step 2: Fry the Bacon
    Heat oil in a frying pan. Add bacon and cook until crispy and golden. Remove and set aside.
  • Step 3: Make the Garlic Sauce
    In the same pan, sauté garlic until lightly golden.
    In a bowl, mix oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water. Stir well and pour into the pan. Cook for about 10 seconds until thickened.
  • Step 4: Combine & Serve
    Add broccoli and toss until fully coated. Add bacon, mix gently, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Don’t fry garlic with bacon; bacon releases water.
  • Stir the sauce well before pouring to avoid lumps.
  • Add chili flakes for heat or parmesan for richness.
