Sesame-Ginger Steamed Broccoli

Sesame-Ginger Steamed Broccoli

Serves 4

30 minutes or fewer

No steamer basket required for this recipe. A modest amount of liquid in a standard skillet steams the broccoli to perfection.

• 1 lb. broccoli, cut into medium florets (6 cups loosely packed)
• 2 Tbs. mirin or sake
• 1 Tbs. tamari
• 1 Tbs. minced fresh ginger
• 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tsp. sesame seeds

Place broccoli, mirin, tamari, ginger, oil, and 1/4 cup water in large (2- to 3-qt.) skillet. Cover, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Steam 4 minutes, or until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender. Sprinkle with salt and sesame seeds.
