Broccoli stir-fry
Broccoli Stir fry is a very delicious and easy recipe that goes best with steamed rice. Broccoli is sauteed in butter and has some prominent garlic flavour.
I am not a fan of broccoli but recently I was watching Julia Child's "The French Chef" show. There is one episode when Julia Child made a simple sauteed french beans. One thing I observed about her cooking is, her recipes are simple, easy to learn and perfect for family meals. Another thing I observed is, She didn't hesitate to use a generous amount of butter 😉 Which I love the most.
So, This stir fry broccoli recipe is inspired by her beans recipe. I can say that. Can I share some of my favourite reasons for this recipe before moving to the ingredients? yes!
