Ingredients
- 400 grams Broccoli
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Blanch the broccoli florets in the boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the wasabi paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and well mixed.
Place the blanched and drained broccoli in a large bowl. Pour the wasabi sauce over the broccoli and toss gently until the florets are evenly coated.
Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish and sprinkle sesame seeds on top as garnish.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or chilled for a more robust flavor.
