Recipe

Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and wash thoroughly.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and blanch the prepared broccoli for about 30 seconds.
Immediately rinse the blanched broccoli in cold water to cool, then drain in a colander and shake off as much water as possible.
Thinly slice the garlic. Heat some cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat and gently roast the sliced garlic until golden and fragrant to make garlic oil.
Place the drained broccoli in a bowl, add the fermented anchovy sauce and sesame oil, and toss lightly to season.
Pour the warm garlic oil and roasted garlic over the broccoli and toss gently to combine. Serve.

Cut broccoli into florets, blanch in boiling salted water for 30 seconds, then rinse in cold water and drain well.
In a pan, roast sliced garlic in oil over medium-low heat to make fragrant garlic oil.
Toss the broccoli with fermented anchovy sauce and sesame oil, then pour the roasted garlic oil over and toss gently.

Cooking tips

If the broccoli is not thoroughly drained after blanching, the seasoning will not adhere well and the dish will taste bland, so shake off the water vigorously.
If the heat is too high when roasting the garlic, it will burn quickly and become bitter. Roast gently over medium-low heat until golden to infuse the oil with flavor.
The combination of sesame oil and fermented anchovy sauce is a versatile cheat code that pairs well with various blanched green vegetable salads.
