Broccoli With East West Sauce Food

EASY BROCCOLI WITH CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Steam or boil broccoli following package instructions.
• If using fresh broccoli, steam in a covered saucepan over simmering water for 4 to 5 minutes, just until tender.
• In a medium saucepan or saucier over medium heat, combine cheese, milk, and onion powder. Heat, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted, and mixture is smooth, about 7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, plus ground cayenne or hot sauce if desired.
• Pour sauce over broccoli arranged on a serving platter or in a bowl, or serve sauce separately.

BROCCOLI WITH OYSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk together oil, oyster sauce and vinegar in a large bowl until evenly combined (the mixture will not emulsify). Add broccoli, sprinkle generously with pepper and toss well to evenly coat the broccoli in the sauce.
• Spread on a baking sheet and roast, stirring the broccoli halfway through, until tender and beginning to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

BROCCOLI WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan with 1 inch of water and place a steamer inside. Bring the water to a boil, place the broccoli in the steamer, reduce the heat to medium, cover and steam until tender and bright green, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the broccoli to a bowl and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Top the broccoli with the Cheddar Cheese Sauce, or serve it on the side.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Spoon the flour over the butter and cook, while stirring, until the flour becomes pasty. Pour in the milk while whisking and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a medium simmer and cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Slowly add the cheese by handfuls and stir with a wooden spoon until melted and smooth.

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.

• In a saucepan, whisk the cornstarch, seasonings and milk until smooth.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
• Add in the cheddar cheese and Worcestershire sauce and stir until cheese is melted.
• Drain the broccoli and top with cheese sauce.

BROCCOLI WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine the butter, water, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the broccoli to the pan, stir to coat, and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring once, until broccoli is tender but still bright green. Serve warm, or refrigerate and serve cold.

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH TAHINI GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• In a mortar and pestle mash the garlic clove to a purée with a generous pinch of salt. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the sesame tahini. Whisk in the lemon juice, beginning with the smaller amount. The mixture will stiffen up. Gradually whisk in up to 1/3 cup water, until the sauce has the consistency of thick cream (or runny yogurt). Taste and adjust salt.
• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the broccoli crowns 1/3 inch thick, letting the flower buds on the edges fall off. Peel any large pieces of stem by gently pulling away the thick skin, then toss the slices and the unattached buds with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast until the tops are nicely browned, stirring and flipping the large slices over (tongs are a good tool for this) after 8 minutes, roasting about 15 minutes total. Remove from the oven and transfer to a platter or to individual serving plates. Drizzle on the tahini sauce and serve, or serve the tahini sauce in small bowls for dipping.
