Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 2 small lemons, juiced
- 3 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3 cup 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.
