Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the broccoli thoroughly under cold water.
- Trim off the tough ends of the stems and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. If using stems, peel the outer layer and slice them thinly.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
- Immediately transfer the broccoli into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and retain the color. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the broccoli to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, until it begins to turn tender but still has a bit of crunch. Keep stirring consistently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the sesame butter and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir well to coat the broccoli evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the sesame broccoli stir-fry to a serving bowl or platter.
- Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious sesame broccoli stir-fry!
Tips:
- Ensure the broccoli is thoroughly washed and cut into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Heat the sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat to give the broccoli a nice, toasty flavor.
- Stir-fry the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes until it reaches your desired level of tenderness. Keep stirring to avoid burning.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce according to your taste preference. You can start with less and add more if needed.
- Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra crunch and flavor boost if desired.
