Steamed Broccoli With Miso Sesame Sauce Recipes

STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH SESAME SEEDS, TOFU, AND OYSTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the broccoli into florets and, along with the dice tofu, placed into a steamer set inside a medium saucepan over boiling water. Steam for about 2 minutes. The broccoli should be bright green and firm still.
• In a wok over high heat, combine the oyster sauce, garlic, chili pepper, ginger, miso and rice wine. Bring to a boil. Add the broccoli and tofu and mix well. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve at once.

SESAME BROCCOLI

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.

STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH MISO-SESAME DRESSING

Steps:

• Fill a pot with 2 inches of water. Set a steamer basket (or colander) in pot; bring water to a boil. Place broccoli florets in basket, and steam until bright green and just tender, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together miso, sesame seeds, the lemon juice, and oil in a bowl. Slowly add tofu and 2 tablespoons water, stirring until combined; if dressing is too thick, add up to 1 tablespoon more water.
• Transfer broccoli to a serving dish; drizzle with dressing, and garnish with red bell pepper.
