Melting Broccoli
- Replies 0
This surprisingly simple side turns ordinary broccoli into something soft, caramelized, and melt-in-your-mouth. The trick is roasting until tender, then simmering in a flavored liquid until the florets practically dissolve into rich goodness. Serve it as a standout side or mix it into rice or noodles for depth.

- 8 cups broccoli florets
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup sliced scallions
- 1/3 cup unsalted vegetable broth

- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 large cloves garlic, grated
- ¾ teaspoon chili crisp (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

- In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, broth, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer the roasted broccoli to a skillet, pour in the miso mixture, and simmer gently until the liquid reduces and the broccoli is “melting” soft.
