Quick & Healthy Broccoli and Mushroom Stir-Fry

So did you guys watch The Bachelor this week?  I saw the entire episode last night and was not surprised Shawntel from Chino got booted.  Seriously, who takes a guy to a Funeral Home on their first date.  At this point I am slightly convinced the whole thing was staged by ABC, I don’t know.  Out of the 3 women left I’m rooting for Chantal from Seattle… she’s pretty, smart, and seems to have the entire package.

I’m obsessed with The Bachelor, it’s the only show I don’t forget to watch.  And now we can discuss food.  This dish is perfect for those who are watching their weight or for those of you who do not have enough time to cook.  This super easy stir-fry is not only delicious, but healthy too!  

I was pondering what to make lunch time and came up with this recipe based on the ingredients I had on hand.  It was a light meal that took less than 30 minutes to put together.  This is such a figure friendly meal that you can even afford to skip a workout, especially if you skip the rice.  🙂 

TELL ME: Have you been watching The Bachelor this season?  Who do you think will win?

NUTRITION: Broccoli adds tons of nutrition value… Fiber, Folic Acid, and Vitamins A, C, and K.  Mushrooms are a very good source of Vitamin B6 and Protein. 

INGREDIENTS (makes 2 comfortable servings if eaten with brown rice):

  • Broccoli – 2 small heads (cut into florets & steamed)
  • Sesame Oil – 1 tbsp
  • Garlic – 5 cloves (sliced)
  • Scallions – 1 bunch (sliced into 1 inch pieces)
  • Mushrooms – 1 box 8 ounces (sliced)… you can use white or brown mushrooms
  • Lite Soy Sauce – 2 tbsp
  • Rice Wine Vinegar – 1 tbsp
  • Asian Hot Chili Sauce – 1/2 to 1 tbsp (start with 1/2 tbsp and work your way up)

DIRECTIONS:
1. On high heat, bring a pot of water (1/4 full) to a boil.  Cover with a lid.  We are doing this so we can steam the broccoli later on.  

2. Get your broccoli heads and cut into florets.



3. Place the florets in a colander, one that fits over the pot of boiling water. 



4. Here is the amount of mushroom I used.



5. Slice mushroom, scallions, and garlic.  

6. Now check on the water, should be boiling away.



7. Place the colander over the boiling water and reduce heat to dial #3 (low heat).



8. Cover with a lid and allow this to steam for 3-5 minutes.



9. Get the Asian sauces out.  
TIP: If you do not have chili sauce, you can use Crushed Red Pepper Flakes instead, just make sure to add them with the oil in the beginning.



10. Heat a wok on medium high heat (dial #7).  



11. Once really hot, add 1 tbsp of sesame oil.  Sesame oil is typically used as a finishing oil rather than a cooking oil.  I used it as a cooking oil, however I didn’t allow the oil to get really hot.



12. Immediately add the garlic, scallions, and mushrooms.  



13. Season with a little salt.  



14. Work fast and keep stirring to avoid sticking – about 2-3 minutes.  



15. Once the scallions soften and the mushrooms release a little liquid, you will need to add the steamed broccoli which should be done.



16. Check on the steamed broccoli.  Should be done.



17. Add the steamed broccoli with a little salt.  



18. Keep stirring for a minute.  



19. Add soy sauce.



20. Add rice wine vinegar.



21. Add hot chili sauce.  



22. Combine and you are done.  Turn off the stove. Allow this to sit for about 10 minutes for the flavors to combine. 



23. Serve with brown rice, but I only had white rice on hand.  Garnish with some crushed red pepper flakes – I LOVE SPICE!  🙂

    Can you tell me please if your "Print This Post" button only prints the recipe text or the entire article? This looks so tasty and I have all the ingredients on hand, but I know my ink cartridges are getting low and don't want to print out all the pictures. Thanks.

    @Lynnifer – Unfortunately, print this post will print the entire post with images.
    Alternative SOlution – Copy the entire article and paste it into Notepad. This will skip the images and only print the text.

    I am sorry, I need to work on a Printer Friendly option.

    @Anonymous – you can add the tofu after the broccoli. I strongly suggest sautéing or steaming the tofu separately do it doesn't fall apart. Gently toss at this point. You can substitute regular vinegar or white wine vinegar instead. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.

    Hi honey! I usually always bake my tofu or tempeh in the oven first, for about 20 mins, before tossing it into the stir fry mix. 🙂 Will try it tomorrow and let you know.
    Also, I'm originally from Indonesia where things like tofu and tempeh are a staple in our diets. and we normally marinade our tofu/tempeh in: garlic, salt and turmeric pwd water first before baking and tossing into stir fry. This usually helps take away the strong taste of tempeh that some people might not like. you should try this and let me know how you like it. I sometimes just pan fry a whole block of tofu, cut into 4 triangle pieces, marinated in the garlic turmeric water and add sweet soy sauce on top of the tofu before devouring it! 🙂

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
