- 1 lb broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 scallions chopped
Instructions
- After washing your broccoli florets, cut into similar 1" strips. Chop 2 cloves of garlic and 2 scallions and set aside.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, and add 1 tbsp of salt to dissolve.
- Blanch broccoli for 45-60 seconds or until the broccoli reaches your desired tenderness. It should be bright green with a nice crunch.
- Drain the broccoli from the boiling water and immediately rinse with cold water or shock in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, dry the broccoli as much as possible with a towel to reduce excess water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, kosher salt, roasted sesame seeds, garlic, scallions, and mix together thoroughly until the broccoli is evenly coated.
- Let the broccoli marinate for 15-30 minutes in the dressing for maximum flavor and enjoy!
