US Cups - Metric

Instructions

Wash and trim broccoletti, removing the woody ends.
Heat up oil in a large pan or skillet.
Add slightly crushed garlic & green onions.
Gently fry for 2 minutes, then remove the garlic.
Add broccoletti and sauté for 5 minutes (turning it halfway through).
Add sesame & salt and pepper to taste.
Lastly, add 2 tablespoon of water, cover with a lid, and steam for further 3 minutes.
Remove from heat & serve on its own or as a tasty side.
Add more seasoning, nuts, or chilli flakes if desired.

Notes

Sesame oil works best, but feel free to use any other vegetable oil (olive, sunflower, coconut, etc).
I recommend broccolini with thin stems. It cooks faster and has a more tender texture.
Don't mince the garlic. Simply press on it with a side of a knife to crush it.
Make sure to turn each broccolini halfway through.
If you prefer a softer texture, steam it for longer. Add a few extra tablespoon of water, cover with a lid and let steam.
The tops will get slightly charred.

To store - Let cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container such as the one pictured above. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Heat thoroughly before serving.

To freeze - Lay it out on a lined tray, making sure they are placed in a single layer. Place in the freezer until completely frozen (about 2-3 hours). After that, you can transfer it to a plastic box or bag and place it back in the freezer. Use within 2 months.
