Creating Broccoli and Mushroom Stir Fry is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to prepare this delicious dish:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets. Slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add Mushrooms: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
5. Stir in Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
6. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, and vegetable broth (or water). If using cornstarch, dissolve it in the liquid before adding it to the skillet.
7. Combine Everything: Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to coat all the vegetables and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
8. Season: Taste and add salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavors.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
10. Serve: Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish.
