Why you’ll love this recipe

  • This is the fastest way to make vegetables taste like they came from the garden
  • Blanching the broccoli first ensures it is perfectly cooked through while maintaining a vibrant green color and a “snap.”
  • Combining sesame oil and olive oil provides a massive punch of flavor with very little effort.

Key Ingredients

  • Broccoli Florets: High in vitamins and the perfect “vessel” for catching the garlic-soy sauce.
  • Sesame Oil: Adds an exceptional depth and a slight thickness that helps the dressing cling to the florets.

Key Steps

  • #1: Boil the broccoli for exactly 3 minutes—any longer and it will become mushy and lose its bite.
  • #2: Mix the dressing and enjoy!
