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

Directions

Step 1

Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Rinse well under cold water.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil and prepare a large bowl of ice water for blanching.

Step 3

Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and water. Mix well until the honey is fully dissolved.

Step 6

Grate the garlic clove and ginger, then add them to the dressing mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Optional: Add red chili flakes for some heat, if desired.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, toss the prepared broccoli with the dressing until evenly coated.

Step 9

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over low heat for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Sprinkle them over the broccoli.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a warm side dish or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for a refreshing cold salad. Enjoy!
