Ingredients
Scale
- 2 bunches (about 2 pounds) broccoli
- 1/4 cup neutral oil
- 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- 2 small hot chilis, halved lengthwise (green Thai chilis, jalapeno, various dried ones, or even just a big pinch of crushed red pepper flakes)
- 2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- While the water is heating, cut bite sized florets off the broccoli. Peel the stems and cut them into thick slices.
- When the water comes to a boil, add the broccoli and stir. Cook the broccoli for 2 minutes. Drain well.
- Put the oil, sesame oil, and garlic in a large deep skillet (oven safe) over medium heat. When the garlic starts to sizzle, add the hot peppers and stir. Add the oyster sauce and broccoli, and season with salt and ground pepper, and stir well.
- Place the skillet in the oven and cook for about one hour, gently flipping the broccoli once or twice during cooking. It will be very tender when done. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the melting broccoli to a serving dish and serve. It is delicious hot or at room temperature.
