Method

  1. Steam the broccoli or simply boil it for 3 mins. Make a rough paste by pounding or blending the garlic, ginger and coriander stems together.
  2. Pour the oil into a hot wok or frying pan. Add the paste, then turn up the heat to full and sizzle for 1 min. Tip in the cooked broccoli, toss well and sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Turn off the heat, throw in the coriander and basil leaves, give it a stir and serve.

    We love this recipe. I think 3 minutes is a bit too long for the broccoli we grow.

    I made this using regular broccoli and served it with the smoked haddock and cabbage rissotto. It was delicious and we will definitely have it again. WOW and so easy peasy.
