SESAME BROCCOLI, REALLY..IT'S GOOD!
The dish is a nice and easy change from the norm, and quite different from some of the other broccoli recipes I have seen here. Try it, you might like it as much as we do! Due to a great suggestion from a reviewer, I have added toasting the sesame seeds, a marvelous idea! Also, PLEASE don't substitute the sesame oil as one review did here, you loose the entire flavor of this great dish! This is an adopted recipe and the above comments were made before I inherited it. Now having made this dish, I can concurr: it's a sesame oil that turns your head and gets your taste buds going in this recipe, and toasting the seeds also adds fuller flavour. I'm delighted to have adopted this recipe and will be making it often:) I hope that you will enjoy it too!

Tips for Making the Best Sesame Broccoli:
- Choose fresh, tender broccoli. Look for broccoli with deep green florets and firm stalks. Avoid broccoli that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
- Cut the broccoli into uniform florets. This will help them cook evenly.
- Blanch the broccoli briefly before stir-frying. This will help preserve its bright green color and crisp-tender texture.
- Use a hot wok or skillet. This will help the broccoli cook quickly and evenly.
- Add the sesame oil and garlic to the wok or skillet first. This will help infuse the oil with flavor.
- Stir-fry the broccoli until it is tender-crisp. You should still see some bright green color in the broccoli.
- Add the sesame seeds, soy sauce, and honey. Stir-fry for a few more minutes, or until the sauce is heated through.
- Serve the sesame broccoli immediately. It is best enjoyed hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Sesame broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be ready in just 15 minutes. The combination of sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce, and honey gives the broccoli a delicious flavor that is sure to please everyone.
