Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Steam the broccoli florets until they are tender but still slightly crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes until well combined.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steamed broccoli florets and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to develop a light golden color.

  4. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the broccoli in the skillet. Toss well to coat the broccoli evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and caramelize.

  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from heat.

  6. Transfer the Sweet and Spicy Broccoli to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra burst of flavor and color.

  7. Serve hot as a delightful side dish or pair it with your favorite protein for a complete meal.
