Easy Japanese Broccoli Salad With Gomasio
This simple Japanese broccoli salad shows off how beautifully broccoli pairs with toasted sesame oil. Just a handful of ingredients, big flavor, and ready in minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 heads of broccoli about 1 kg
Japanese Sesame Dressing
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons plain (untoasted) sesame oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1-2 tablespoons rice vinegar (or lemon juice)
- 1-2 teaspoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- A pinch of sugar or mirin (optional)
Additionally
- 100 g gomasio (store-bought or home-made)
Instructions
- Wash the broccoli and cut it into florets.
- Steam or cook the broccoli until just tender, then drain well. Don’t overcook—you want it soft but still a little crisp.
- Mix all the ingredients for the Japanese sesame dressing in a small bowl.
- Divide the broccoli between 4 plates or bowls. Drizzle generously with the sesame dressing and finish with a sprinkle of gomasio.
