Melissa-need a good broccoli recipe please!

[Guest guest]

Hi Melissa,

 

We love our steamed broccoli here, too! I've been meaning to link to

this because it's amazingly tasty for such a fast, no-fuss recipe. Have

a great holiday!

Peace,

Mo

Sesame Broccoli for Two

 

2 large stalks broccoli, cut into florets and stems peeled and sliced

1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil

2 tablespoons water

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon additional sesame oil

additional water as needed

sesame seeds for serving

 

First prepare the broccoli by cutting off the florets and dividing them

into bite-sized pieces. Then chop the smaller stems into little chunks.

Cut off and discard the bottom tough part of the broccoli stalk--about

1/2 to 1-inch, depending on the broccoli. Stand the stalk up on end and

trim off the tough outer skin with a sharp knife (or just use a peeler).

Slice the stalk into diagonal slices, about 1/8-inch thick.

 

Have about 1/2 cup of water ready by your stove. Using a wok or

non-stick skillet that has a cover, put the sesame oil and 2 tablespoons

of water into the pan, and heat it until it begins sizzling. Add the

ginger and stir for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and, if the pan is dry,

another 2 tbsp. of water. Stir quickly and cover. Cook for one minute.

 

Remove the cover and stir. Add another splash of water and cover again.

Cook for one minute.

 

Repeat the process of stirring and adding a splash of water one more

time. Check the broccoli, and if it is bright green yet becoming tender,

it is done. If you want your broccoli more tender, repeat the process

until it's how you like it. When it's done, add another tablespoon of

water, the soy sauce, and the 1/4 teaspoon of sesame oil. Toss well and

serve immediately, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
