ASSEMBLY

  • 1 bunch broccolini cut into 2-inch sections

GOMA DARE / DRESSING

  • 1 tbsp nerigoma or tahini

  • 1 tsp dashi powder
  • 1 tsp roasted sesame oil
  • ½ tsp rice vinegar

Instructions
 

  • The broccolini should be prepared by removing the hard ends about one inch below the stem. Once they are removed, cut them into 2-inch sections. After soaking the broccolini in cold water for five minutes, rinse them off. Drain the water.
  • Place the steamer in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil. Once steam appears on the top of the pan, add the broccolini. Cover the pot. Let them steam for five minutes, or until they are easily pierced with a fork.
  • To stop the cooking, place the broccolini in a colander. The colander should be kept in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes
  • Combine the white miso and dashi with sugar, garlic powder, hot water, and sugar in a bowl. Mix until everything dissolves.
  • Mix the remaining goma dare ingredients into the bowl and stir until well combined. Adjust according to your taste.
  • Mix the broccolini in a large bowl. Add two tablespoons of goma dare to the bowl. Add sunflower seeds and togarashi to the top. Serve immediately
