Ingredients
- 4 cups (florets) broccoli
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons (toasted) sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets if not already done. Rinse and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 3
Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Step 4
Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and water. Whisk together well while bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, tossing them to coat evenly in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the broccoli steam for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 6
Remove the lid and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the broccoli. If using, add the red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Step 7
Stir everything together one last time, then remove from heat.
Step 8
Transfer the Sesame Ginger Broccoli to a serving dish and enjoy it warm as a side or main dish.
