Preparation
- Step 1
Rinse broccoli. Cut off thick stem where it meets slender stalks, and reserve. With sharp paring knife separate stalks into florets, leaving stems about 1½ inches long on each. Cut pieces in two lengthwise and lay flat-side down. Cut each piece lengthwise in two and repeat until you have 3-inch-long carved floret and stem pieces of approximately equal thickness (about ½-inch) top to bottom. Peel tough skin from stems, and cut crosswise into ¼-inch medallions. There should be 12 ounces of broccoli, about 7 cups. Set aside.
- Step 2
Toast sesame seeds in large nonstick skillet over low heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to small bowl, and set aside.
- Step 3
Place olive oil and garlic in skillet over low heat. Toast garlic, stirring frequently, until garlic is deep golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add pepper flakes to hot oil, and stir. Transfer to small bowl, and set aside. Toss broccoli, salt and ¼ cup water in same skillet, cover and set over high heat. Cook until broccoli is tender, shaking pan and stirring once, 4 minutes. Uncover skillet (water should be gone), and toss. Stir in garlic and oil, oyster sauce and orange peel. Transfer to warm serving platter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Very good and fairly easy to make. I used Bragg Liquid Aminos in lieu of the oyster sauce.
This is delicious. The orange peel and the garlic and red pepper combo are so good. I didn't have any oyster sauce as we are vegetarians, so I put in about a tablespoon of Hosein sauce. Excellent. Thanks for this.
Everyone loved this broccoli made with my home harvested broccoli, picked that day. I used fish sauce instead of oyster sauce, because that is what I had on hand. I thought it seemed strong but with the lemon roast chicken it was just fine. I will make this again but with the oyster sauce next time. I thought of using sesame oil instead of olive oil. Has anyone tried that. I can see multiple variations to keep this recipe at the top of the frequently served list.
Good flavors. Funny - the recipe is entitled Sautéed Broccoli, but it is actually only steamed. The toasted garlic got soggy immediately- not the best touch.
Very good. I added cashews into the mix as well. I think I will try Hoisin sauce in place of oyster next time.
Broiled broccoli in the oven and made the sauce in a pan. Added the broc to pan when it was done. I used half toasted sesame oil and half avocado oil. Added juice of half orange. Mixed broccoli with sweet potato chunks for an even better dish, the orange sauce went really well with the sweet potato. Next time I’ll try tofu with the same sauce. Delish!
