Asian Style Broccoli

Asian Style Broccoli

 I’m always looking for new ways to make broccoli, this dish is inspired by a recipe I saw in a cookbook Mike’s mom gave me. Garlic and soy sauce are a great combination that is calorie free. Honestly though, this dish is so tasty and comes together in under 10 minutes, low fat and healthy are just bonus!

Serves 4

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 Head of Broccoli, florets only

Salt

Pepper

3 Cloves garlic, crushed

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp water

5 dashes sesame oil

–  Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium high heat; add the broccoli when the oil is hot (the oil will ripple when its ready).

–  Season the broccoli lightly with salt and pepper.

–  Sauté the broccoli for 3-4 minutes, until it starts to soften.

–  Add the garlic, mix it well, careful not to let it burn.

–  Add the soy sauce and water, turn the heat to high and cook until the water has boiled out; about 1 minute.

–  Add the sesame oil and mix the broccoli to incorporate it.

–  Taste and adjust seasoning.

–  Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Notes:

1. If you prefer, you can add sesame seeds to the dish as well, about a tsp.
