How to Make Asian Broccoli With Peanut Butter

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 large head of broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender.
  2. Immediately drain the broccoli in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/4 cup water. Blend until completely smooth, adding more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. Add the cooked broccoli to the peanut sauce and gently toss to coat evenly.
  5. Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor and visual appeal.
