Let’s do another Banchan, because with Banchan the more the merrier! Part of the fun of Korean food is the collection of little side dishes that make for a beautiful spread on the table. In case you haven’t already noticed, the crunch of Banchan is a big draw for me and a large part of the reason I think it complements KBBQ meats so well. Broccoli when blanched turns a vibrant green and has a crispness that is so much better than raw broccoli in my opinion. It also absorbs flavors well, which is great for this Sesame Broccoli.

Guessipe

• 1 lb broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces

marinade

• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 TBSP sesame oil
• 1 tsp salt

Blanch the broccoli in salted water. Rinse under cold water. Drain and squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible.

Combine the broccoli and all marinade ingredients.

Toss until well coated. Refrigerate and serve cold.
