How to Make Johnny G's Favorite Broccoli
- Wash broccoli thoroughly and cut into even-sized spears.
- Steam broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water for 5-7 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
- While broccoli steams, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, heat sesame oil and vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Remove from heat. Stir in crushed red pepper flakes and let stand for 10 minutes to infuse the oil with flavor.
- Add minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or brown sugar), and ginger to the oil mixture. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Once broccoli is cooked, gently toss it with the oil mixture, ensuring all spears are evenly coated.
- Serve immediately, hot or cold. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
