Asian Style Broccoli

 My favorite recipe of the moment! This dish is literally the best broccoli ever! The perfect amount of each ingredient paired with some fresh broccoli and boom- amazing side dish that goes well with pretty much anything. I love to have this dish with some ahi tuna steaks! That has been our go-to Summer dinner this year. These flavors would also pair well with chicken or shrimp or tofu- whatever you like and have on hand. The absolute best part is this can be prepared in about 5 minutes... RUN and make this one!

Asian Style Broccoli- Serves 5

5 cups broccoli florets

1/4 cup water

For the sauce:

3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce

1/4 tsp Sesame Oil

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

2 Tbsp water

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 tsp ginger paste or fresh ginger minced

1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Combine broccoli and 1/4 cup of water in a bowl and microwave for 2-3 minutes (depending on your microwave) to steam the broccoli. You can also steam the broccoli on the stove top. Drain broccoli of excess water after steaming.

In a medium size skillet add in the soy sauce, sesame oil, 2 Tbsp water, and olive oil. Then turn the heat on medium. Allow to bubble- takes about 3 minutes. 

Then add the ginger and garlic to the pan. Stir well. Cook for a minute then add in the steamed broccoli and stir to coat the broccoli in the sauce. Cook another minute.

Top with toasted sesame seeds, serve, and ENJOY!
