Garlic Butter Stir-Fry

Instructions

1. 1

   Prep everything first

   Stir-frying moves fast — have all vegetables cut, sauce mixed, and ingredients within arm's reach before you turn on the heat. Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry in a small bowl.

2. 2

   Sear the protein

   Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over the highest heat until smoking. Add tofu or chicken in a single layer. Don't touch for 2 minutes until golden. Toss and cook 1 more minute. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   Stir-fry the vegetables

   Add a little more oil to the wok. Add broccoli and pepper, toss constantly for 2 minutes. Add snap peas and cook 1 more minute — everything should be bright and slightly charred.

4. 4

   Add garlic and ginger

   Push vegetables to the side. Add butter to the centre of the wok. Once melted, add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. 5

   Sauce and finish

   Return protein to the wok. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss everything together for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats everything glossily.

6. 6

   Serve immediately

   Serve straight from the wok over steamed jasmine rice, scattered with sesame seeds.
