    The added flavorings transform broccoli into something special.

    Yield: Makes 4–6 servings

    INGREDIENTS
    • 1 large head of broccoli
    • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
    • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1/8 tsp crushed hot red pepper
    • ¼ cup vegetable stock or water
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Directions

    1. Cut the broccoli into florets. Pare the stems and cut them crosswise into thin slices.

    2. Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and cook, stirring almost constantly, about 1–2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

    3. Add the oil, soy sauce, and hot pepper to the pan and stir combine. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.

    4. Pour in the stock and cover. Cook for about 2 minutes longer, or until crisp-tender. Stir in the sesame seeds and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

    Notes

    Good with grilled meats.
