Method

Preparation of Broccolini

  1. 1

    Wash and Trim Broccolini

    Rinse the broccolini under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems if needed, cutting about 1 inch from the bottom.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Broccolini

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Making Chili Crisp

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Add Aromatics and Spices

    Add the minced garlic, ginger, and dried red chili flakes to the hot oil. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the garlic is golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 5

    Finish the Chili Crisp

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and salt. Allow the mixture to cool completely before using.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine Broccolini and Chili Crisp

    In a serving bowl, place the blanched broccolini. Drizzle generously with the chili crisp, ensuring it coats the broccolini evenly.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chili Crisp Broccolini!
