SESAME GARLIC BROCCOLI S-C-J
"There's something about the mixture of toasted sesame seeds and garlic that makes this broccoli, well, poetic! Though we created it especially to complement our Sweet and Sour Mango Shrimp, it's the perfect side dish for almost any Asian-style fish or meat. Because the broccoli is steamed rather than sautéed, the fat content is extremely low. If you limit how much sauce you drizzle over it, you can reduce the calories even more."
