Broccoli and Morel Mushroom Stir Fry

Preparing delicious broccoli can be your superpower also. Just be sure to peel the stems and not overcook the broccoli. It should be green and crunchy when you serve it. Red pepper flakes add a nice little kick.

If you can’t get morel mushrooms you can substitute shiitake mushrooms.
