Number Of Ingredients 12

6 bunches broccolini (about 3 lb. total), trimmed, halved lengthwise
Kosher salt
¼ cup tahini
2 Tbsp. white miso
1 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce

  • Meanwhile, mix tahini, miso, soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, sesame oil, 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil, 1 tsp. honey, and 2 Tbsp. water in a small bowl to combine; season sesame sauce with salt.
  • Cut lemon lengthwise into quarters, then thinly slice crosswise. Toss in a small bowl with remaining 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil and remaining 1 tsp. honey; season lightly with salt.

I'm not a fan of sesame sauce, but I really enjoyed this dish. The lemon juice helped to balance out the sweetness of the sauce and the broccolini was cooked perfectly.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with more garlic and ginger.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't turn out as thick as I would have liked. I think I might have needed to cook it for a bit longer.

I used a bit more sesame oil and lemon juice than the recipe called for, and it turned out great! The broccolini was still crisp, and the sauce was flavorful and tangy.
