How to Make Wasabi Ae Broccoli With Wasabi Sauce

Prepare your protein: Blanch 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drain and cut into bite-sized pieces. OR, poach 1 cup (approx. 4 oz) shredded chicken breast until cooked through. Set aside.
Steam or microwave 1 large head (about 1 lb) of broccoli florets until crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes. Do not overcook.
While the broccoli is steaming, whisk together the sauce: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1-2 teaspoons wasabi paste (start with 1, add more to taste), 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Adjust to your taste preference.
Toss the cooked broccoli with the prepared protein (if using) and the wasabi sauce until evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with toasted sesame seeds (optional).
