10 Minute Broccoli in Garlic Sauce

This side, featuring broccoli that's still slightly crisp at its core, is destined to be the hero at any dinner table. 

1 Tbsp chicken bouillon paste
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves minced

1 bunch broccoli florets. cut into bite size pieces

2 tsp cornstarch 

4 Tbsp butter

2 tsp toasted sesame oil

Stir bouillon paste into 1/2 cup water in a small bowl until dissolved.  Set aside

Heat olive oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high.  Cook garlic, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.  Add broccoli and cook tossing constantly, until starting to turn bright green, about 1 minute.  Pour in reserved bouillon mixture and cover pan immediately.  Cook until broccoli is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.  

Stir cornstarch and 2 Tbsp water in a small bowl.  Add to pan along with butter and sesame oil; toss to combine.  Cook, uncovered, stirring often, until sauce is thickened and coats broccoli, about 2 minutes. 

Transfer to a serving bowl.
