Prep time:
20 minutes
Servings:
4 people
Ingredients:
- Two heads of broccoli
- Olive oil
- One lime
- 50 g peanuts
- Soy sauce
- Brown sugar
- 100 g peanut butter
- 30 grams artisanal gochujang
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
The recipe:
Caramelize the peanuts
First, prepare the roasted peanuts by heating the peanuts, one teaspoon (tsp) of sugar, 1 tsp of soy sauce, and 1 tsp of oil in a small pan. Reduce the sugar and stir to coat the peanuts in the glaze (about 2 minutes).
Then, bake the peanuts in the oven for 10 minutes (set to 160°C), take them out, and let them cool.
Cooking the broccoli
Wash and separate the broccoli florets, then steam them for 3 to 4 minutes or cook them in a pot of boiling, salted water. Drain, and mix with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lime juice.
Preparing the peanut-gochujang sauce
Finally, prepare the delicious gochujang sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, gochujang, garlic, ginger, 1 tablespoon (tbsp) of soy sauce, 2 tbsp of lime juice, and 2 tbsp of water.
The texture should be smooth at the end.
Plating
Serve by spooning some sauce and peanuts over the broccoli, served warm or cold!
