1. Prepare the Vegetables
   Wash the broccoli and cut into florets. Slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic if using.
2. Heat the Oil
   Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

6. Season the Dish
   Drizzle soy sauce over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
7. Finish Cooking
   Allow the flavors to combine by cooking for an additional 1–2 minutes.
