Tips & Notes
- After the first sear, add a splash of water and cover the skillet for 2 minutes. The broccoli steams through and keeps its browned edges.
- Buy sesame seeds already toasted, or toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat and pour them onto a plate as soon as they turn golden.
- Toasted sesame oil gives the dressing a nuttier flavor but burns at high heat, so keep it for the dressing. Use tamari labeled gluten-free.
