“Broccoli in Garlic Sauce” is a traditional favorite on any
Chinese takeout menu, so you don’t have to use substitutions,
or convince your family to “try this vegan meal (pretty please)”. There’s
no tofu or unfamiliar ingredients to taste test, and it’s 100% gluten-free.
Garlic is one of my favorite medicinal herbs, as it can help
combat colds, reduce blood pressure, and improve cholesterol. Broccoli, on the
other hand, is rich in fiber, and can help strengthen bones, control diabetes,
improve your immune function, and even reduce the risk of cancer.

- 2 large heads of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets (about 10 cups total)

- 1 Tbsp olive oil
