• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 2-4

ingredients

• 4 -5 cups broccoli florets
• salt and water (for cooking)
• 2 1⁄2 teaspoons wasabi powder, reconstituted to a paste with a few drops of water
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sake
• 1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon artificial sweetener, of your choice

directions

1. Bring the water and salt to a boil. Cook the broccoli until it’s crisp-tender and still a bright green in color. Drain, and refresh very briefly with cold running water. (Note: you can skip this step if you’re not in a hurry and have time to cool the broccoli.).
2. In the meantime, mix together all the remaining ingredients except the wasabi in a small pan, and stir over a low heat until the sugar is melted.
3. Let cool, and add the wasabi, reserving 1/2 tsp or so. Mix well until the wasabi is dissolved.
4. Pour the sauce over the broccoli and mix well.
5. Serve at room temperature or chilled, optionally with a little additional wasabi on the side for people to mix into the broccoli as they eat it (if they really like wasabi).

Although I love all of the ingredients in this recipe, it just didn't work for me. I think that the sake made it a little too bitter. I'll try this again, but will just add the sake to taste. Thanks dicentra for sharing. Made for Zaar Alphabet Chef Soup Tag.
