Wasabi-Ae (Broccoli With Wasabi Sauce ) image

You can turn this into a one-dish meal by adding some protein of your choice, such as blanched and cut-up tofu, or poached and shredded chicken breast. The sauce is great with either. Use less wasabi if you find it too strong. From the blog "Just Hungry" . cooking time is approximate

Time 18m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 -5 cups broccoli, cut up (the flower part broken into small pieces, the stem part peeled and sliced thin)
salt and water (for cooking)
2 1/2 teaspoons wasabi powder, reconstituted to a paste with a few drops of water
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake
1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon artificial sweetener, of your choice

Steps:

  • Bring the water and salt to a boil. Cook the broccoli until it's crisp-tender and still a bright green in color. Drain, and refresh very briefly with cold running water. (Note: you can skip this step if you're not in a hurry and have time to cool the broccoli.).
  • In the meantime, mix together all the remaining ingredients except the wasabi in a small pan, and stir over a low heat until the sugar is melted. Let cool, and add the wasabi, reserving 1/2 tsp or so. Mix well until the wasabi is dissolved.
  • Pour the sauce over the broccoli and mix well. Serve at room temperature or chilled, optionally with a little additional wasabi on the side for people to mix into the broccoli as they eat it (if they really like wasabi).
