Note

Use a high-smoke-point oil such as peanut, avocado, or canola oil for best results.

For a gluten-free version, substitute regular soy sauce with tamari.

Adjust the sugar and salt to taste depending on the saltiness of your soy sauce.

Serve immediately while hot and crisp. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet.

Ensure the wok is very hot before adding the broccoli to achieve a nice sear rather than steaming the vegetables.
