Broccoli kimchi (banchan) hits my crucifer notes. Simple to execute, it makes a welcome addition to any banchan set. Don’t oversteam the broccoli! A cheat code is to microwave the broccoli in a bowl with saran wrap and a few tablespoons of water for about 2:30 minutes, taking care not to create a broccoli mush.
Ingredients
Method
- Use a pot with a steamer basket and lid. Fill the pot to 1 inch of water just below the steamer basket, put the lid on, and turn the heat to medium-high, until boiling.
- Steam the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes, until pierceable by a fork but not mushy.
- Move the broccoli to a bowl, and mix with soy sauce/tamari, sesame oil, and sesame seeds, taking care not to smash the broccoli, to taste.
