This Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry stands out because it combines bright, crisp broccoli with earthy mushrooms for a simple, satisfying bite. The quick, high-heat cooking method locks in color and texture, giving you a dish that looks as good as it tastes.
Start with a hot skillet or wok over high heat and a small amount of oil. Add the broccoli first for a crisp bite, then the mushrooms so they brown and release their natural moisture.
Keep the vegetables moving to avoid steaming; you want that crisp-tender texture, not soggy bits. When the vegetables look vibrant and slightly caramelized at the edges, you’re right on track.
If you’re adding any sauce, mix it in toward the end to simmer briefly—just enough to coat without making everything limp.
Notes
Tip: Dry the broccoli florets thoroughly before cooking to ensure they sear nicely. Cooking in batches helps prevent overcrowding in the pan.
