Report
This broccoli with peanut sauce made with ginger, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, lime, and peanut butter is a fast and failproof way to get everyone to eat their veggies. Dip, drag, and dredge steamed broccoli in the Thai-inspired sauce. Then let your imagination loose with any sauce that's left over. Or make another batch because you just can't get enough of it.

Instructions
Make the peanut sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk everything together. Taste and, if you like, add more of any ingredient.
Steam the broccoli
- If using broccoli with thick stems, you may wish to peel the thick outer layer of the stems with a vegetable peeler.
- Set up a metal or bamboo steamer in a pot, add an inch or so of water, and bring to a boil.
- Steam the broccoli or broccolini until almost but not quite as tender as you like, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.☞ TESTER TIP: The broccoli or broccolini will continue to cook a little after you take it off the stove from the residual heat. Anticipate this so your broccoli isn’t sad and soggy.
Serve the broccoli with peanut sauce
- Shake, stir, or whisk the peanut sauce to recombine. If desired, add a little warm water, a few drops at a time, to thin the sauce.
- Drizzle some sauce on plates, top with the broccoli, and scatter with sesame seeds. Bring to the table while still warm.
