Cooking Instructions for making Broccoli with sesame dressing
Put sesame seeds in a small saucepan, set it over medium heat and toast, stirring and tossing frequently, until they are few shades darker, 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer them to a bowl to cool. Pound the seeds in a mortar or buzz in a spice grinder until you have a slightly coarse powder.
Combine the soy sauce, mirin, sugar to sesame powder and stir until combine.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and season it with salt as if you are seasoning soup. Prepare the bowl of ice water.
Add broccoli to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked but still have a slight crunch, about 3 minutes.
Drain the broccoli, immediately transfer them to the icy water, and stir well. When the broccoli are cool, drain and pat them dry.
Combine the sesame dressing to cooked broccoli and stir to coat them well.
Mound the broccoli on a plate and serve.
The broccoli can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a day.
Enjoy ….
