 Healthy and Delicious Broccoli Side Dishes

Annyeonghaseyo! Hello K Friends! I hope you're all staying healthy in this cold weather! Today, I really want to introduce a dish that I've been loving. It's a super food – a very delicious broccoli side dish. It's surprisingly tastier than you might think, and I've been making it quite often these days. Hope you enjoy this recipe!

#1 How to Prepare Broccoli

Pour enough water into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Place the broccoli upside down in the water. Broccoli is packed with florets, so washing under running water alone might not remove all the impurities. Let it soak for about 10 minutes. Since broccoli can float, put another bowl on top to submerge it.

After 10 minutes

 Discard the water and rinse the broccoli again. Cut the broccoli into appropriate sizes.

Trim the stem and cut it into smaller pieces. Don't discard the stem as it's also nutritious. Cut it into suitable sizes to eat.

Place the broccoli in a steamer. Steam for about 1~2 minutes. After 1~2 minutes, transfer it to a wide plate to cool.

While cooling the broccoli, blanch half a block of tofu in boiling water. Boil for about 2 minutes.

After 2 minutes, remove the tofu and drain the water.

Notes

• For good quality broccoli, choose ones with closed buds and a deep green color.
• If you blanch broccoli in boiling water, after one minute, most of the sulforaphane is lost. However, if you steam it instead, steaming for just 1-2 minutes can minimize the loss of nutrients.
• No gukganjang (soy sauce for soup)? You can use regular soy sauce.
• Adding almonds or other nuts can enhance the flavor and nutritional value.
