Garlicky Broccoli

Wash the broccoli and set aside. Make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch into the water until completely dissolved. Mince the garlic.

Bring about 6 cups of water to a boil in your wok and add the broccoli. Blanch for 30 seconds, drain, and put the broccoli into ice water to stop the cooking process.

Heat the wok over high heat. Once the wok is very hot, add the oil, garlic, broccoli, wine, and chicken stock. Let the mixture come to a boil, which should be quick since the heat is so high.

Add salt, white pepper, and sesame oil and give it another quick stir. Now make sure your cornstarch slurry is still well-mixed as it tends to separate after some time. Stir in half of the slurry and let the sauce cook and thicken until it coats the back of a spoon. Add more slurry if it’s not thick enough. Plate and serve hot!
