Best 4 Sesame Soy Broccoli Florets Recipes

LUCAS' SESAME BROCCOLI FLORETS

Steps:

• If using sesame seeds, place them in a small, dry skillet and toast, shaking the pan frequently, until lightly browned. Set aside to cool. Rinse the broccoli and separate the florets from the stalks, reserving the stalks for another use.
• Arrange the florets in a vegetable steamer basket or steamer insert. Bring about 1 inch of water to boil in a deep, wide pot. Lower the steamer into the pot, making sure it rests above the water. Cover and cook the broccoli until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked broccoli to a serving bowl and drizzle with the sesame oil. Add sea salt to taste, and sesame seeds and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the garlic cloves and oil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the garlic is browned and tender. Turn off the heat and add the red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Immediately pour into a heat-proof container to stop the cooking. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• For the salad, blanch the broccoli florets in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 to 3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain well and immerse immediately into a large bowl of ice water until the broccoli is cooled. This process stops the cooking and sets the bright green color. Drain well.
• In a large bowl, toss the broccoli with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup of the oil used to cook the garlic, the soy sauce, and 8 or more cloves of cooked garlic. Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.

SESAME BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath.
• While the water comes to a boil, in a small nonstick skillet over low heat, refresh the toasted sesame seeds, stirring frequently, until oils are released and seeds are warmed through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and grind until half the seeds are coarsely crushed. Alternatively, pulse once or twice in a food processor until half of the seeds are crushed.
• Transfer sesame seeds to a large bowl and add the oil, miso, soy sauce and vinegar; mix or whisk well.
• Once the water is boiling, blanch the broccoli by cooking it until bright green, about 1 minute, then drain and transfer to the ice water to cool. Drain well and pat dry.
• Add the cooked broccoli to the dressing, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate and serve chilled.

BROCCOLI & PEAS WITH SESAME SEEDS, SOY & HONEY

Steps:

• To make the dressing, mix the soy, honey and sesame oil together. Mix the seeds together. Boil the broccoli and peas for 2 mins, then drain.
• Tip the broccoli and peas back in the pan, pour half the dressing and half the seeds over, and shake for a few secs. Serve sprinkled with the rest of the dressing and seeds.
