Easy asian style broccolini.

At times we all need that quick dinner on the table. Delays with a working parent are innumerable. The hungry bellies just need the food instantly as soon as you get home. This is where the quickest of my decisions made it faster than the instant noodles. I don’t hate instant noodles, just that by the time I jazz it up to suit my dinner needs it probably takes an hour compared to my quick go veggies.

Cooking with the Broccoli family

The best quick-cooking vegetable for those tired evenings is, of course, broccolini.  They are the green, leafy flowers… in fact just whatever good for health one on the plate. 

Here are a couple of easy ones with broccoli

Pan roasted gnocchi with peas, broccoli and corn

Baked pasta with Brussels sprout and broccoli.

However, I just can’t stand it overcooked with sprinkled salt or dunked in cheese sauce. I like it treated a bit better. Unusually, I lean closer towards the Asian route for all things broccolini. I like the crunch of the sesame, a gentle bite to the stalk, the softness of the florets and the sauce.

Serve this with the comfort of Brown rice Congee. Making you hungry? Nothing more hugely to say …. indulge in this quick recipe as it is faster than instant noodles. Stay safe, let me know how you like this recipe. Don’t miss to follow.
