Are you looking for a delicious and healthy stir-fry dish with broccoli and authentic Thai flavors to cook at home? This broccoli stir-fry with shrimp and oyster sauce is easy, simple, and can be done in just 20 minutes.
Although you may not initially associate Thai food with being healthy, there are many hidden gem dishes like this one that will completely change your perspective on Thai cuisine.
In Thailand, we often don’t incorporate vegetables like broccoli, but when we do, we often cook it with oyster sauce. With this recipe, we are combining broccoli, shrimp, and oyster sauce, which makes for a tasty yet healthy dish you can make at home. You can also add other proteins like chicken or pork, or mix in a variety of vegetables to make it your own. If you’ve tried Thai Mixed Vegetable Stir Fry (Pad Pak) before, you’ll find this recipe to be quite similar but even tastier.
Broccoli is packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. For the best benefits, use fresh broccoli when cooking. To enhance the stir-fry, we use fresh garlic combined with oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. These ingredients complement each other perfectly, creating an authentic Thai stir-fry flavor.
Here’s a tip for you: to keep broccoli looking fresh and vibrant, blanch it in hot water with a pinch of salt for about 2 minutes before stir-frying. This technique helps maintain its green color and ensures the broccoli is perfectly cooked and remains crunchy.
