4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1/2 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon oyster sauce
07 -
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch

1/3 cup water
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Bring a pot of water to a boil, adding a pinch of salt and a drizzle of oil. Blanch broccoli florets for 3 to 5 minutes until vibrant and tender-crisp. Drain thoroughly.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the prepared vegetable oil. Add bacon pieces and cook, stirring, until golden and crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving oil in the pan.

Add finely chopped garlic to the pan with bacon oil and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden. While garlic cooks, in a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water to form a smooth mixture.

Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and stir quickly for about 10 seconds as the sauce thickens. Add drained broccoli and toss to coat evenly in sauce. Return crisped bacon to the pan, stir to combine, and serve immediately.
