Ingredients
1 bunch of broccoli, cut in florets, stalks peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 scallion, sliced thinly on bias
1 red pepper, diced
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Directions
- In a steamer place the stems on the bottom, slice 3 thin slices of ginger, place over stems and top with broccoli florets. Steam broccoli for 5 minutes.
- Grate the rest of the ginger, there should be about 2 teaspoons. Mix the ginger with soy, vinegar, and sesame oil, and toss with broccoli (remove the ginger slices before serving). Arrange on platter, top with red pepper, scallions and sesame seeds
- TIP:
- LOOKS LIKE BROCCOLI.... BROCCOLI RABE
- Trim off the bottom, tough stems of the broccoli rabe, wash well. Slice stems into 1/2-inch pieces and saute with whole peeled garlic cloves in olive oil. After 5 minutes add florets, saute until slightly tender, add a pinch of Italian red pepper and serve over pasta.
