Fry 3 cloves of chopped garlic until golden yellow. Set aside. (TIPS: To prevent burning, use low heat and stir continuously. Then immediately remove when the garlic is golden yellow / one shade lighter than desired. This is because the garlic continues to cook after being removed, resulting in a darker color).

Boil water. Add sliced carrots. Add 1/2 tablespoon salt and 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Once the carrots are slightly tender, add the broccoli. Add 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon sugar. Cook on high heat for a maximum of 1 minute or until half-cooked. Remove, drain, and rinse under running water. (TIPS: This method is used to achieve greener broccoli and non-pale carrots 😍).

Sauté 2 cloves of chopped garlic until fragrant. Add broccoli and carrots. Add hot water, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and broth powder if needed.
