Sesame Broccoli Recipe
Just a couple of tweaks to the usual steamed broccoli and you get broccoli that's crispier, crunchier, and has that "umami" that you only get from toasted sesame oil and roasted sesame seeds that have been crushed to release every last bit of their roasty, toasty, nutty umami.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 heads broccoli — about 5 cups of florets
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds crushed
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water with 1 teaspoon salt to a boil.
- Drop broccoli florets into boiling water and blanch for 1 minute.
- Drain broccoli. There is no need to shock in ice cold water since the cooking time is so short.
- Immediately toss the hot broccoli with minced garlic and ½ teaspoon salt so the heat from the broccoli takes a little bit of the edge off raw garlic.
- Drizzle broccoli with sesame oil and half the sesame seeds and toss until evenly coated.
- Transfer Sesame Broccoli to serving bowl. Garnish with remaining sesame seeds.
