A bold and flavorful broccoli side dish tossed in a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy gochujang sauce for a quick and vibrant addition to any meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp with light charring.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.
  4. Pour the sauce over the broccoli and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and clings to the broccoli.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Roast broccoli at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes for deeper caramelization.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to make the dish gluten-free.
  • Add tofu or edamame for extra protein.
  • Sprinkle crushed peanuts or cashews for added crunch.
  • Adjust spice level by reducing or increasing the gochujang.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
