Broccoli With Sesame Sauce Broccoli Goma Ae Recipes

BROCCOLI WITH SESAME

BROCCOLI WITH SESAME SAUCE - BROCCOLI GOMA-AE

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of water to a boil on the stove. Once boiling add the broccoli and boil for 3 to 5 minutes until cooked through. Transfer the broccoli to a colander and drain well.
• Meanwhile heat a small pan on the stove on medium high heat. Once hot, add the sesame seeds and toast for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring the seeds every so often so they brown evenly.
• When the seeds are golden colored and fragrant, remove from heat and transfer them to a mortar and pestle.
• Grind the seeds while they are still warm. Once the seeds are ground, add the sugar, soy sauce and miso and mix well.
• Once the broccoli has cooled, add the broccoli back to the pot and mix with the sesame dressing.

WASABI-AE (BROCCOLI WITH WASABI SAUCE )

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).
