How To Make Sauteed Broccoli With Sauce

Begin by steaming broccoli florets in water for about 10 minutes. While the broccoli is steaming, add the remaining ingredients to a bowl or jar and whisk together. Drain the water off the broccoli and add the sauce to the pan. Allow the broccoli to cook in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.

Voila- the broccoli has absorbed all that incredible Asian flavor! Toss to coat every bit, and serve immediately. We enjoy eating this side dish in rice bowls, with Hibachi-grilled meat, or even alongside a simple protein like fish or tofu. Give it a try today; I’m sure you’re gonna love it!
