    How to Make Spicy Sichuan-Style Stir-Fried Broccoli

    1. Prep Ingredients

    Cut and halve broccoli as noted. Prepare blanching water by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil and mixing in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

    2. Blanch Broccoli

    Submerge the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes or until they are tender but retain a crisp bite and a vibrant green color. Remove from heat, drain well, and set aside.

    3. Heat Wok

    Place a wok over high heat until very hot. Sprinkle water to check readiness; it should evaporate in seconds. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, swirling to coat the wok's surface.

    4. Stir-Fry Aromatics

    Quick-fry dried chiles for 20 seconds. Add Sichuan peppercorns, fry for 10 seconds until fragrant.

    5. Cook Broccoli

    Introduce garlic and blanched broccoli florets to the wok. Stir-fry vigorously for approximately 2 minutes, ensuring the florets are heated thoroughly.

    6. Season and Serve

    Off the heat, season with salt, soy sauce, MSG, sugar, and white pepper. Return to heat briefly, tossing to blend flavors evenly. If desired, stir in a splash of toasted sesame oil for a nutty finish. Serve the broccoli hot and savor the bold Sichuan flavors.
