slight changes: i put about half a cup of water and the broccoli in a covered dish and microwaved it for about 4 minutes. in a small bowl, i made the dressing, using half the sesame oil (only because i ran out) and half the salt. then i drained the broccoli and poured the dressing into the dish and mixed. it was great!

This was really good and tasted authentic (at least as authentic as the Chinese restaurants I've been too). I am a cook who hates to measure and I think I probably over-guestimated the vinegar, so make sure you measure the ingredients as directed for this one. I really enjoyed it and it was very easy to make.

Very good! I added some red pepper for color, and some leftover brown rice I had in the fridge to soak up the dressing. Yummy!

It is a good recipe that I will make again. My only confusion was the amount of boiling time. It took more than a minute to come to a second boil. I let it go 90 seconds. I will only let it go 1 minute next time even though it does not heat enough to boil after the broccoli is added.

I wasn't overly impressed by this unfortunately. I thought 2 tbl. of sesame oil sounded like a lot, so I only used 1 tbl. and that was still all I could taste. Not a lot of depth of flavor here. Also, I think it would be better if you used rice wine vinegar instead of plain white vinegar! With some modifications this might be good!

I don't like broccoli but I know I should add it to my diet so I'm always looking for a good recipe that makes me want to eat it. I've finally found it! I love the sharp flavor of the soy sauce and vinegar. Such a wonderful taste in every bite. The only thing I did different was boil the broccoli a litte longer, I like it soft. I will definitely be making it this way from now on. Thanks so much!

Very good flavors going on in this recipe. The sesame oil makes it a bit too nutty for my taste, so I reduced to 1 T. and also added some red chili flakes to introduce heat (I love spicy).

This is a tasty salad, but the sesame oil is a little overbearing. I mixed my broccoli with the rice from the Asian Salmon recipe on this site. Much better mixed in.

This was a pretty good recipe for a quick weeknight meal, and a new twist on brocooli prep. I added some teriyaki sauce to the dressing to punch up the flavor a little more. Thanks.

Flavor was too strong for me, but I like the boiling broccoli/plunging into cold water technique... it made the broccoli nice and green and soften it just enough to eat.

I'm always looking for new ways to prepare broccoli, as it is the only green veggie my picky son will eat. Unfortunately, he didn't like this, but the rest of us thought it was great! Next time, I leave some broccoli plain for the aforementioned picky child, but the rest of us are getting this!

I thought the sauce for the broccoli was PERFECT! I served it warm and coupled it with the Thai Style Tilapia (another on this site) and the combination was terrific! Thanks so much.

Great recipe! I was looking for something quick to make with broccoli. Added one clove fresh garlic, didn't do the ice bath so broccoli would stay warm, added toasted sesame seeds. Thank you for sharing. Will make again and again!

This was great. Just what I was looking for. My husband said next time use the same dressing as the Asian Chicken Salad (another favorite of ours) with the broccoli. I didn't have seasame seeds, but will definately add them next time.

Simple and delicious. I served it cold, halved the sesame oil(picky kids) and sprinkled with sliced almonds. I prepared the broccoli & dressing in advance but didn't combine them until 15 min. before dinner as I thought the vinegar in the dressing might discolor the broccoli.
