Broccoli With Sake Wasabi And Ginger Butter Recipes

BROCCOLI WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Cut florets into 2-inch-wide pieces. Trim stems and peel with a knife, then slice crosswise 1/4 inch thick. Cook broccoli in a large pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté ginger, stirring, until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add broccoli and salt and sauté , stirring, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes.

GINGER BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Saute the broccoli over medium heat in sesame oil for 8 minutes.
• While broccoli is cooking, stir together the soy sauce, ginger, and sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves.
• Add the soy mixture to the broccoli along with the water, cover and simmer for 2 minutes more.
• Serve at once.

SESAME GINGER BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Heat a wok over high heat and add the peanut oil.
• When it smokes, add the broccoli and toss well.
• Cook until the broccoli starts to colour.
• Add the ginger and sesame seeds and keep cooking for about 20 seconds, then add the remaining ingredients.
• Cover wok and cook on high for only another minute.
• Eat right away, or cold as a salad.

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).
