Recipe


Ingredients

  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp fried shallots (from Asian grocer or supermarket in jar or packet)
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

Method


  • Use deep frying pan with well-fitting lid. Heat on high, then add broccoli florets and water. The water should sizzle on contact. Stir for 1 min, then cover with lid and cook for 30 secs to 1 min more, shaking pan often, until broccoli is bright green and water has evaporated.
  • Add butter and stir to melt so it coats broccoli.
  • Transfer to serving bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds and fried shallots.
  • Scatter over lemon wedges and serve.
