- 2–3 tbsp water

1. Prep vegetables
Wash broccoli and slice mushrooms. Keep broccoli in small, even florets for quick cooking.

4. Add garlic
- Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn it)
5. Add broccoli + sauce
Mix in:
- soy sauce
- oyster sauce (if using)
- black pepper
- sugar
- water
Stir well and cook 2–3 minutes.
6. Thicken (optional)
Add cornstarch mixed with a little water for a light glossy sauce.
