• Heat up oil in a wok.
• Add garlic and ginger.
• Stir fry garlic and ginger until it starts to brown. (about 10-20 seconds).
• Add pre-cut vegetables as necessary (adding in those that take longer to cook first, so that they are all done simultaneously).

• When about 80% done, sprinkle a little salt over the mixture.
• Then add a pinch of sugar.
• Complete stir frying.
• Serve over brown rice.
• If you want a simple sauce. Add a little corn starch to soy sauce and add toward the end of the stir fry. You can also add oyster sauce, but it usually contains MSG.

Steps:

• Trim the florets off the broccoli, and cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the broccoli stalks with a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin, and slice 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal. Set aside.
• Whisk together 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, cornstarch and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat a large wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, and swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil begins to smoke, add the broccoli florets and stems. Cook, stirring constantly, until browned around the edges, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water to steam the broccoli, and cook, stirring constantly, until tender, about 2 minutes more. Push the broccoli to the edges of the pan, forming an empty well in the center. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, then the scallions, garlic, ginger and pepper flakes, and stir until aromatic, 30 to 45 seconds. Add the soy mixture, and stir until the sauce has thickened and the broccoli is coated, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, add the sesame oil and stir to coat. Serve with rice.
