Wasabi-Ae (Broccoli With Wasabi Sauce ) image

You can turn this into a one-dish meal by adding some protein of your choice, such as blanched and cut-up tofu, or poached and shredded chicken breast. The sauce is great with either. Use less wasabi if you find it too strong. From the blog "Just Hungry" . cooking time is approximate

Time 18m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 -5 cups broccoli, cut up (the flower part broken into small pieces, the stem part peeled and sliced thin)
salt and water (for cooking)
2 1/2 teaspoons wasabi powder, reconstituted to a paste with a few drops of water
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake
1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon artificial sweetener, of your choice

Steps:

  • Bring the water and salt to a boil. Cook the broccoli until it's crisp-tender and still a bright green in color. Drain, and refresh very briefly with cold running water. (Note: you can skip this step if you're not in a hurry and have time to cool the broccoli.).
  • In the meantime, mix together all the remaining ingredients except the wasabi in a small pan, and stir over a low heat until the sugar is melted. Let cool, and add the wasabi, reserving 1/2 tsp or so. Mix well until the wasabi is dissolved.
  • Pour the sauce over the broccoli and mix well. Serve at room temperature or chilled, optionally with a little additional wasabi on the side for people to mix into the broccoli as they eat it (if they really like wasabi).

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but this recipe changed my mind! The wasabi sauce was the perfect complement to the broccoli and it made it taste delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the broccoli turned out great! The wasabi sauce was a bit bland for my taste, so I added a little extra wasabi paste. Overall, I enjoyed this dish and would make it again.

The wasabi sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but the broccoli was cooked perfectly. I'll try making it again with less wasabi next time.

This was my first time trying wasabi and I was pleasantly surprised! The sauce was not as spicy as I thought it would be and it paired really well with the broccoli. I'll definitely be making this again.
