Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?

While you can , I don't recommend it. Frozen broccoli releases too much water and turns mushy when stir-fried. If it's all you have, thaw it completely and pat it super dry first. But trust me - fresh makes all the difference for that perfect crisp-tender bite!

How do I make this gluten-free?

Easy swap! Use tamari instead of regular soy sauce (make sure it's the gluten-free kind) and double-check your oyster sauce label. Some brands contain wheat, but gluten-free versions are available at most stores now. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free!
