Chinese Broccoli Salad with Sesame Citrus Dressing

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time5 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 4 -6

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Chinese broccoli or substitute broccolini
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons ponzu sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce or Sriracha or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill a large bowl with water and ice. Set aside.
  • Trim ends from Chinese broccoli, then cut in half crosswise, separating the leaves from the stalks. If any stalks are thick, cut them in half lengthwise.
  • Heat about 4 inches of salted water in a large lidded pot or wok, bring to boil. Add the stems and cook for 2 minutes. Add the leaves and cook for 3 minutes more (stems should be tender but not mushy).Transfer broccoli to ice bath.
  • While the broccoli cools, prepare the dressing. Combine ginger, ponzu sauce, lemon, soy, and chili sauce in a small bowl, then slowly drizzle in the sesame oil, whisking constantly. Set aside.
  • Drain the broccoli and dry well (in a salad spinner or with a clean kitchen towel) then transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle dressing over broccoli and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle sesame seeds and serve.
