Broccoli with Silky Pork Sauce consists of cooked broccoli florets topped with a silky sauce containing ground pork. The thick, silky sauce is called Ankake (あんかけ) in Japanese, and it’s one of the important cooking techniques used in Japanese cuisine. Because Ankake sauce retains heat well, this dish is particularly suitable for cooler seasons. Simply boiled (or steamed if preferred) broccoli with this umami-packed sauce creates a healthy yet satisfying dish for everyday dinners.
