### Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
– Wash the broccoli florets and slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic if you’re using it.
2. Heat the Oil:
– In a large skillet or wok, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sauté the Garlic (Optional):
– If using garlic, add it to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add the Broccoli:
– Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to become tender but still bright green.
5. Add the Mushrooms:
– Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked and the broccoli is tender.
6. Season:
– Pour in the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together to ensure the vegetables are well-coated with the sauce.
7. Finish Cooking:
– Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8. Serve:
– Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
