Garlic Sesame Broccoli Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large wide pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in broccoli and boil until dark green, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
• Heat vegetable and sesame oils in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add broccoli and stir-fry until well seasoned with garlic oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt.
• Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of cold salted water to a boil. Cut the florets off the broccoli stems and then trim any tough parts off the stems and thinly slice crosswise. Add the broccoli florets and stems to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Pat dry.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat; add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the garlic with a slotted spoon to a small bowl, leaving the olive oil behind.
• Add the broccoli to the skillet and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring gently to avoid breaking up the broccoli too much, until it?s crispy at the edges, about 5 minutes. Return the garlic to the pan and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the vinegar and salt. Add broccoli and toss to combine.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil until hot, but not smoking. Add garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in sesame oil and pepper flakes. Pour mixture over broccoli and toss well. Let sit for at least 1 hour at room temperature, and up to 48 (chill it if you want to keep it for more than 2 hours). Adjust seasonings (it may need more salt) and serve.

• Sprinkle sesame seed evenly over bottom of same skillet. Heat over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browning begins. Then stir constantly until seeds are golden brown. Immediately remove seeds from skillet; set aside.
• In same skillet, heat vegetable oil and sesame oil over medium heat until oils shimmer. Add broccoli and cook about 1 minute, stirring frequently. Clear center of skillet and add garlic and gingerroot. Stir into broccoli and cook 1 minute longer; do not let garlic burn.
• Stir cornstarch mixture again to dissolve any lumps and add to skillet. Heat mixture to boiling, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seed.

• Using a vegetable peeler, peel the stalks of broccoli.
• Quarter the broccoli stalks lengthwise.
• Steam the broccoli in a vegetable steamer over water until it reaches desired tenderness.

• Remove broccoli and place in serving bowl.
• Drizzle the sauce over it and mix well.
• Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
• TIP:
• This vegetable dish keeps well and is delicious cold. Keep it airtight in your refrigerator.

Steps:

• Rinse broccoli. Cut off thick stem where it meets slender stalks, and reserve. With sharp paring knife separate stalks into florets, leaving stems about 1 1/2 inches long on each. Cut pieces in two lengthwise and lay flat-side down. Cut each piece lengthwise in two and repeat until you have 3-inch-long carved floret and stem pieces of approximately equal thickness (about 1/2-inch) top to bottom. Peel tough skin from stems, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch medallions. There should be 12 ounces of broccoli, about 7 cups. Set aside.
• Toast sesame seeds in large nonstick skillet over low heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to small bowl, and set aside.
• Place olive oil and garlic in skillet over low heat. Toast garlic, stirring frequently, until garlic is deep golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add pepper flakes to hot oil, and stir. Transfer to small bowl, and set aside. Toss broccoli, salt and 1/4 cup water in same skillet, cover and set over high heat. Cook until broccoli is tender, shaking pan and stirring once, 4 minutes. Uncover skillet (water should be gone), and toss. Stir in garlic and oil, oyster sauce and orange peel. Transfer to warm serving platter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Prepare the broccoli for cooking. Boil, steam and drain. Please DO NOT over cook! Generally 6-8 minutes to steam or boil is about right for crisp broccoli.
• Heat the sesame oil on a skillet or wok for 15 seconds over high heat. Add the sesame seeds and the broccoli.
• Stir fry until heated through.
• Remove from the pan to a serving dish, pour soy sauce over!

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high. Add the broccoli stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the florets, season generously with salt and pepper, and shake into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is fragrant, less than 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and cook until the broccoli is bright green and fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed to prevent burning. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Cut broccoli into bite sized pieces.
• Boil in water for about 5 to 7 minutes.
• (broccoli should just start to soften).
• Rinse under COLD water (to stop the cooking).
• Dry to remove any excess water.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil until hot.
• Add the garlic and sesame seeds.
• Sautee for 1 minute.
• Add the broccoli and"some" of the broth.
• (I say "some" as you don't want it soaking in it, you just want it to help steam and add flavor) Cook for 2 to 4 minutes (depending on the way you like your broccoli, tender or crisp) stirring the entire time Season lightly with table salt.
• As everyone has their own tastes, increase or decrease the garlic and or sesame seeds as desired.
