1.5 tbsp mayonnaise

1/3 tbsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp sugar (or plum syrup)

a little sesame oil

a little salt

Recipe

Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and wash thoroughly.
Blanch the broccoli in salted boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately cool in cold water and drain completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and doenjang in roughly a 3:1 ratio and mix well.
Add minced garlic and a little sugar to the doenjang-mayo base to enhance flavor and add a subtle sweetness, completing the sauce.
Place the thoroughly drained broccoli in a bowl and add the prepared doenjang-mayo sauce.
Toss well so the sauce coats the broccoli florets evenly, then finish with a light drizzle of sesame oil.

Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces, blanch in salted water for 30 seconds, cool in cold water, and drain.
Mix mayonnaise, doenjang, minced garlic, and sugar to make a savory, nutty sauce.
Add the sauce to the broccoli, toss evenly, and finish with a little sesame oil.

Cooking tips

Adjust the ratio of mayonnaise to doenjang to taste, but keep the mayonnaise amount greater than the doenjang to avoid bitterness and ensure a smooth flavor.
If the broccoli is not drained properly, the sauce will become watery and lose its flavor, so make sure to remove as much moisture as possible after blanching.
This mild flavor is appealing even to children; if you want a clean spicy kick, you can add just a touch of gochugaru.

Recommended for
