Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Rinse well under cold water.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and prepare a large bowl of ice water for blanching.
Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Drain the broccoli and immediately transfer it to the ice water to stop the cooking and preserve the color. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and water. Mix well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Grate the garlic clove and ginger, then add them to the dressing mixture. Stir to combine.
Optional: Add red chili flakes for some heat, if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the prepared broccoli with the dressing until evenly coated.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over low heat for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Sprinkle them over the broccoli.
Serve immediately as a warm side dish or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for a refreshing cold salad. Enjoy!
