What annoys me the MOST is seeing people overcook their broccoli until it’s pale and mushy, cook for five minutes only!
Asian-Inspired Broccoli Salad
Asian-Inspired Broccoli Salad
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 sliced Onion
- 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tbsp Minced Ginger
- 500g Broccoli
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Cornsarch Mixed with 1 tsp of water
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 1 tbsp Sugar/Honey Optional
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil and add the onion slices. Cook on high until colored
- Add the garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute
- Add the broccoli and cook on high all throughout. Set the timer to five minutes, that’s how long you will cook the broccoli, not longer
- On the side make the sauce by mixing the sesame oil, soy sauce and the cornstarch (mixed already with water). You can add honey or sugar here too, but I didn’t today. With 2 minutes to go on the timer add the sauce and cook. When the five minutes are over add the sesame seeds and serve
Notes
Enjoy this as a side or as a main dish. A good option would be to add 1/2 cup of cashews in the beginning with the onion and have a vegan meal
