Broccoli Blanched With Sesame Oil Food

BROCCOLI BLANCHED WITH SESAME OIL

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients.
• Separate the stems and florets. Cut off the tough skin on the stems.
• Bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add salt and stems. Cook for 2 minutes.
• Once the stems are getting tender (not tender yet), add the florets.
• Add the sesame oil and continue to cook until florets are almost tender, about 2.5 to 3 minutes. Since we will not transfer the broccoli to iced water to stop cooking further, we have to take it out before it's completely done. The remaining heat will continue to cook broccoli.
• Drain water. If you like, drizzle additional sesame oil over the broccoli. Let cool completely and put them in the glass container for storing.

SESAME BROCCOLI, REALLY..IT'S GOOD!

Steps:

• Prepare the broccoli for cooking. Boil, steam and drain. Please DO NOT over cook! Generally 6-8 minutes to steam or boil is about right for crisp broccoli.
• Heat the sesame oil on a skillet or wok for 15 seconds over high heat. Add the sesame seeds and the broccoli.
• Stir fry until heated through.
• Remove from the pan to a serving dish, pour soy sauce over!

SESAME GARLIC BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt. Add the broccoli and cook for 3 to 5 mins (depends on the size of the florets and amount of florets to water).
• Once the broccoli is bright green, take off heat, drain and wash with cold water.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium low heat. Once the oil is hot, add garlic, reduce heat to low. Mix well and cook until the garlic is golden. 4 to 5 mins. (Slow cooking the garlic will roast it without burning).
• Add sesame seeds and sesame oil and continue to cook until the seeds start to change color.
• Add soy sauce, red pepper flakes and mix well for a few seconds. Add a tbsp of water and mix and take off heat.
• Drizzle over broccoli or add broccoli to the skillet and mix well. Add a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
