→ Protein
02 - 2 strips bacon, cut into small pieces
→ Aromatics
03 - 4-5 cloves garlic, finely chopped

04 - 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
05 - 1 teaspoon oyster sauce

07 - 1/3 cup water
→ Oils & Seasonings
08 - 3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
09 - Pinch of salt for boiling water

# How to Make It:
01 - Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and a splash of olive oil. Add broccoli florets and boil for 3-5 minutes until just tender and bright green. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add bacon pieces and cook until crisp and golden brown. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Discard excess fat, leaving approximately 2 tablespoons oil in the pan.
03 - Add chopped garlic to the remaining oil in the pan. Sauté over medium heat until fragrant and golden, but not burnt. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Pour sauce mixture into the pan and stir continuously for about 10 seconds until the sauce thickens and turns glossy.
04 - Add the drained broccoli to the pan and toss to coat evenly in the garlic sauce. Sprinkle crispy bacon over the top and toss briefly to combine. Serve immediately.
