Instructions
- Place the broccoli in a 12-inch skillet and add enough water to come halfway up the sides. Bring to a boil and then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, then set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, honey, garlic, ginger paste, and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside.
