Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare one head of fresh broccoli. Choose broccoli that looks vibrant green and firm for the best results.
Step 2
Wash the broccoli thoroughly under running water. Cut it into bite-sized florets. You can also peel the thick stem and chop it into smaller pieces to use, as it’s also delicious.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add 3 tablespoons of coarse salt. Carefully add the prepared broccoli florets and blanch for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Adding salt helps maintain the broccoli’s bright green color.
Step 4
Immediately after blanching, transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice-cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down rapidly. This step is crucial for keeping the broccoli crisp.
Step 5
Drain the blanched broccoli thoroughly using a colander. Ensure all excess water is removed, as lingering moisture can dilute the dressing and affect the flavor.
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the delicious miso dressing. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of miso paste, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of perilla oil, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of oligosaccharide, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and 3 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds.
Step 7
Using a spatula or spoon, stir the dressing ingredients until well combined and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. The mayonnaise adds a lovely creaminess and richness to the dressing.
Step 8
Add the well-drained broccoli florets to the bowl containing the prepared miso dressing.
Step 9
Gently toss the broccoli with the dressing until each floret is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the broccoli; a light touch is key. Your delicious Broccoli Miso Salad is now ready to be served!
