→ Honey Garlic Sauce
07 -
80ml honey
08 -
60ml low sodium soy sauce
09 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
10 -
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
11 -
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)
12 -
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
02 -
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and seared on both sides. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside.
03 -
Add oil to the same skillet. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until crisp-tender. If using fresh broccoli, add a splash of water and cover briefly to steam if necessary. Remove broccoli and set aside with the sausage.
04 -
Place shrimp in the hot skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, just until pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking.
05 -
Return sausage and broccoli to the skillet with the shrimp. Pour in the honey garlic sauce and stir well to coat all ingredients. If thickening is desired, add the cornstarch slurry now and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
06 -
Serve hot as desired, such as over white rice, brown rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice for a low-carbohydrate option. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Broccoli can be steamed briefly in the pan by adding a splash of water and covering for tender results.
02 -
Ensure shrimp are not overcooked to maintain their tender texture.
