Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head Fresh Broccoli (about 1 pound), cut into florets
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (for boiling water)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and prepare an ice bath in a separate bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, sesame seeds, and chili flakes.
- Add salt to the boiling water.
- Drop broccoli florets into the water and blanch for 90 seconds until bright green.
- Drain immediately and plunge into the ice bath for 2 minutes to stop the cooking.
- Drain again and pat the broccoli very dry with a towel.
- Toss the dried broccoli with the dressing in a large bowl until evenly coated and serve.
