I spend a little time searching for ideas to figure out what to do with lots of leftover broccoli stems, and then this is it... Ingredients:
large, thick stems from 4 bunches broccoli |
1 t oil |
1 t minced garlic |
1/4 cup diagonally sliced green onion for garnish (optional) |
1 tsp sesame seeds |
1 tsp sesame oil |
1 t salt & a pinch of salt to taste |
Directions:
1. First cut off the ends of the broccoli stalks, which might be kind of brown if the broccoli has been in the fridge for a while.
2. Use a sharp knife to cut away the smaller ribs and leftover pieces of leaves.Then use a sharp vegetable peeler to peel the stems carefully, then cut them into thin julienne strips about 2 inches long.
3. Place in a colander and sprinkle with the salt. Set aside for 10 minutes to drain, then rinse with cold water and gently squeeze out excess liquid.
4. Heat the pan over medium-high heat for one minute, add the oil and heat 10 seconds, then add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds. Then add the broccoli stems and start to stir-fry.
5. Continue to cook the broccoli stems until they are starting to brown but are still crisp, about 6 minutes.
6. Sprinkle sesame seeds and Sesame oil, taste to salt: Mix gently and remove from heat.
7. Serve hot, garnished with green onions if desired.
