Here is one of my favorite ways to eat broccoli!  So good!

sesame garlic broccoli

ingredients

• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 20 oz. broccoli
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, chopped fine
• 3 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 Tablespoon chili sauce (or your favorite hot sauce)
• 3 teaspoons light soy sauce

• directions

  step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  step 2Spread the sesame seeds in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes until fragrant and golden brown. When done, remove from hot pan to stop cooking.

  step 3Using a vegetable peeler, peel the stalks of broccoli.

  step 4Quarter the broccoli stalks lengthwise.

  step 5In a serving bowl mix the chopped garlic, sesame oil, chili sauce, and soy sauce.

  step 6Steam the broccoli in a vegetable steamer over water until it reaches desired tenderness. (If you like broccoli a little crunchy, steam for about 2 minutes.)

  step 7Remove broccoli and place in serving bowl. Drizzle the sauce over it and mix thoroughly.

  step 8Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
