Broccoli and Black Beans Stir-Fry
Simple to make without consuming much of your time, this broccoli, black beans stir fry will surely be a hit with your family.
Ingredients
- 2 cups steamed broccoli florets
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- ½ tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 1 garlic clove minced finely
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
- a pinch red chili flakes
- a pinch turmeric powder
- as needed salt to taste
- as needed lime juice (optional)
Instructions
- Steam the broccoli florets for exactly 6 minutes to get the best possible texture. It's neither raw nor mushy and retains a nice crunch. I used a stove top steamer basket for steaming the broccoli.
- In a large frying pan add the sesame oil and don't let it smoke. Once it is warm, add the sesame seeds, red chili flakes, chopped ginger and garlic, turmeric powder and salt; stir it for about 2 minutes
- Add the steamed broccoli florets and cooked black beans and combine well. Squirt some lime juice to taste.
Notes
- You can use vegetables like cauliflower, carrot with the broccoli and choose to season it with flavors of your choice. I didn't use soy sauce because it's not gluten-free. You can use tamari (Japanese soy sauce) instead.
