Ingredients

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 small lemons, juiced
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
3 cups fresh broccoli, chopped

Instructions

Whisk the soy sauce, lemon juice, water, sugar, garlic, sesame seeds, salt and pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and stir occasionally.
Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add in the broccoli. Pour about a tablespoon of water into the pan and cover. This creates a steaming effect on the broccoli. Cook until broccoli is slightly crunchy and bright green, 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove broccoli from pan and put in a serving bowl. Pour the warm garlic sauce over the broccoli and serve immediately.
