Truthfully, when I whipped up this broccoli stir fry I was going for a Broccoli in garlic sauce kind of dish that could replicate one of my go-to takeout orders.

While it missed the mark on being an exact copycat recipe, this broccoli stir fry certainly packs a garlicky kick, and combined with the freshness of the veggies, this stir fry is a winner for me. The hint of lime at the end really perks up all of the flavors in this stir fry.

I served this with rice and since the rice was already made ahead of time, this was such a quick and easy meal. I use my rice cooker to make all of our rice and I love it because it’s so quick, easy and un-screw-up-able.

To make this even quicker of a meal, I took a shortcut and used a 12 oz. bag of fresh steamable broccoli in the produce aisle (not frozen).

1. In a medium bowl, whisk garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, vegetable broth, maple syrup and corn starch. Mix well. Set aside.
