Chili-Garlic Broccolini

Method

Chili-Garlic Broccolini

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Rinse the broccolini under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim about an inch off the ends of the stems to ensure freshness.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Broccolini

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

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

  4. 4

    Add Chili Flakes

    Stir in the red chili flakes and continue to cook for an additional 30 seconds to release their flavor.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the blanched broccolini to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss everything together to coat evenly.

  6. 6

    Finish with Lemon and Sesame

    Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the chili-garlic broccolini to a serving dish and enjoy hot as a side dish or appetizer.
