Notes & Tips

Angel hair pasta works perfectly here — don't overthink it. Lo mein noodles are ideal if you have them, but this is a weeknight recipe and angel hair gets it done just as well. The sauce comes together in one bowl and the whole thing moves fast once the pan is hot, so have everything prepped before you start cooking. Don't overcrowd the pan — if the broccoli is steaming instead of searing, you've lost the texture. High heat is the whole point.
