Tender Stem Broccoli With Sesame Recipes

Steps:

• Steam the broccoli or simply boil it for 3 mins. Make a rough paste by pounding or blending the garlic, ginger and coriander stems together.
• Pour the oil into a hot wok or frying pan. Add the paste, then turn up the heat to full and sizzle for 1 min. Tip in the cooked broccoli, toss well and sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Turn off the heat, throw in the coriander and basil leaves, give it a stir and serve.

Steps:

• Toast sesame seeds in heavy small skillet over medium heat until golden, about 5 minutes.
• Set aside 1 tbs toasted sesame seeds.
• Place remaining sesame seeds in a spice grinder.
• Add salt and 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper; grind coarsely.
• Set sesame-red pepper mixture aside.
• Steam broccoli until crisp-tender, about 7 minutes.

Steps:

• Trim off any hard ends from the broccoli stalks as well as any very coarse leaves. Bring a large quantity of salted water to the boil in a very large saucepan and plunge in the broccoli. With the lid on, quickly bring the water back to the boil, then remove the lid and briskly simmer the broccoli for about 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
• Meanwhile, heat both oils in the pan over a medium heat. Fry the garlic for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the slices are light golden. Throw in the broccoli and fry it for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until the stalks are piping hot and imbued with the garlicky oil.
• Serve immediately with the sesame seeds sprinkled over the top.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath.
• While the water comes to a boil, in a small nonstick skillet over low heat, refresh the toasted sesame seeds, stirring frequently, until oils are released and seeds are warmed through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and grind until half the seeds are coarsely crushed. Alternatively, pulse once or twice in a food processor until half of the seeds are crushed.
• Transfer sesame seeds to a large bowl and add the oil, miso, soy sauce and vinegar; mix or whisk well.
• Once the water is boiling, blanch the broccoli by cooking it until bright green, about 1 minute, then drain and transfer to the ice water to cool. Drain well and pat dry.
• Add the cooked broccoli to the dressing, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate and serve chilled.

Steps:

• To make the dressing, mix the soy, honey and sesame oil together. Mix the seeds together. Boil the broccoli and peas for 2 mins, then drain.
• Tip the broccoli and peas back in the pan, pour half the dressing and half the seeds over, and shake for a few secs. Serve sprinkled with the rest of the dressing and seeds.
