From Diana Rattray: Can't remember which site I found this at, but wow, what a different take on broccoli! Will convert broccoli haters, and show cheese sauce lovers a whole new side of broccoli. Highly recommended! Ingredients:
1/2 lb fresh broccoli |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon vinegar or 1 tablespoon rice vinegar |
1 tablespoon soy sauce (i use japanese style, kikkoman, not china lily for this recipe.) |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Trim and wash broccoli; drain. Cook broccoli spears in a small amount of boiling salted water 1/4 cup) just until tender, about 5 minutes. (Or microwave (1 - 2 tablespoons water) for 3 minutes for 1000 watt microwave, adjust your time according to wattage!).
2. Drain and arrange broccoli spears in a serving dish.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine vegetable oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame seed; bring to a boil.
4. Pour 1/2 the sauce over the hot broccoli, turning spears to coat thoroughly. Serve immediately.
5. (Note: Serving size is 2, although there is enough sauce for 4+ servings. I save the balance for dressing leftover rice - makes an excellent salad topping served warm.
