  4. Drain the broccoli well and transfer it to a large bowl.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the broccoli and gently toss to coat.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of karashi (Japanese mustard).
  7. Pour the karashi-soy sauce mixture over the broccoli and toss to combine.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the bright, fresh flavors!
