A delicious and quick-to-make broccoli dish with a spicy sesame twist.
Heat the sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm.
Ensure the oil is warm but not smoking to preserve its flavor.
Add the red pepper flakes to the oil, remove from heat, and let sit for 10 minutes.
This step allows the oil to absorb the spice's flavor.
Return the saucepan to low heat and stir in the garlic, soy sauce, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Heat until combined.
Stir continuously to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly.
Wash the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized florets.
Cut the broccoli into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Steam the broccoli until tender yet crisp, about 5 minutes.
Avoid overcooking to maintain the broccoli's vibrant color and crunch.
Place the cooked broccoli in a large bowl and pour the sauce over it. Toss to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the broccoli florets.
Serve the dish immediately while warm.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor.
