Time 1h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 medium heads broccoli, stems removed and heads cut into florets (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
1 cup julienned carrots
1 cup julienned daikon
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
2 tablespoons unrefined sesame oil
1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 red jalapeno, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar
2 teaspoons tamari
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Roast the broccoli: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Add the broccoli florets, oil and a large pinch of salt to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Toss to combine, and spread out in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, stir and continue roasting until broccoli is browning, 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven, and set aside to cool.
  • Make the dressing: Warm the unrefined sesame oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and jalapeno, and cook until garlic is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, and add the vinegar, tamari, toasted sesame oil and sesame seeds. Stir well to combine.
  • Assemble the salad: Add the roasted broccoli, carrots, daikon and scallions to a large bowl, and toss to combine. Divide between 2 bowls, and drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

SPICY-TANGY CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI STIR FRY



Spicy-Tangy Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry image

Chicken, broccoli, and cashews stir-fried in a citrus and red pepper sauce, served over rice. I wanted to make a tasty stir fry with ingredients I had on hand and this is what I came up with. I also didn't have time to marinate. I have the chicken and broccoli cut and ready to go before I start the rice. Once the rice has been on simmer for about 5 of its 20 minutes, I start frying the broccoli/ cashews and the chicken. This results in all ingredients being ready at the same time.
