Aisoon Broccolini
Nyesha’s grandmother Aisoon used to make “Sigeumchi Muchim,” which is similar to a chilled spinach salad. Nyesha adapted her own spin of this dish by grilling farmers’ market broccolini, and tossing it into a light dressing consisting of sweet soy and toasted sesame.
Equipment
- 1 shallow dish
- 1 small bowl
- 1 whisk
- oven or grill
Ingredients
- 2 lbs broccolini
- ⅓ cup light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ¼ cup green onion chopped
- 2 tbsp garlic minced
- 2 tbsp sesame seed toasted
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- chilli flakes optional
Instructions
- Place the broccolini in a shallow dish.
- Make Dressing: In a small bowl, use a whisk to combine soy sauce, sugar, green onion, garlic, sesame seeds, sesame oil, and ground black pepper. (Chili flakes optional)
- Marinate: Toss the broccolini with the dressing mixture, ensuring it’s well coated.
- Cook: Roast in the oven at 425°F or grill over an open flame for about 6 minutes, or until the broccolini is tender but still crisp (al dente).
