1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¾ teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
¼ cup vegetable oil

ASIAN BROCCOLI SALAD



ASIAN BROCCOLI SALAD image

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Sauté     Quick & Easy

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 bunches of broccoli tops
1 can of mandarin orange sections(drain and reserve liquid)
1 tbl vegetable oil
1 tbl sesame oil
1/2 cup Soy sauce
2 tbl pickled ginger
2 tbl honey
1 tbl toasted sesame seeds
zest from one orange(optional)

Steps:

  • In large skillet or wok heat vegetable oil. Add in broccoli. Saute on high heat for no more than 5-10 minutes tossing frequently. Remove from pan and place in bowl. Sit bowl in ice bath to stop broccoli from cooking. In food processor blend sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, reserved mandarin liquid and honey. Pour over broccoli and toss to coat. Add sesame seeds and mandarin orange sections and toss again. Top with zest, serve immediately or chill and serve later.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest broccoli possible. Fresh broccoli will have tight, compact florets that are deep green in color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. This will help the broccoli to cook evenly and make it easier to eat.
  • Blanch the broccoli before adding it to the salad. Blanching is a process of briefly boiling the broccoli in water and then immediately transferring it to an ice bath. This helps to preserve the broccoli's bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a variety of textures in your salad. In addition to broccoli, you can add other vegetables, such as shredded carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas. You can also add nuts, seeds, or crumbled cheese for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Asian broccoli salad is best served fresh, but it can also be chilled for later. If you are chilling the salad, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Asian broccoli salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright flavors and crunchy texture, Asian broccoli salad is a surefire hit with everyone who tries it.
