Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon minced ginger

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and minced ginger until well combined.

    Blanch the Broccoli: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for about 2-3 minutes, just until vibrant green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

      Sauté the Broccoli: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the blanched broccoli. Pour the gochujang sauce over the broccoli and stir well to coat each piece evenly. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.

        Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
