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.
Broccoli and beef stir-fry is a staple Japanese home-cooked dish. Similar to the Chinese classic, broccoli and beef with oyster sauce stir-fry, which is one of the most popular Chinese dishes of all time, our version is less saucy and lightly flavored, making it perfect for everyday dinners or packed Bento lunches. Its taste is simple and fresh, and no one will complain when it appears on the table frequently.
Sesame Sauce is a very convenient seasoning for vegetables. It is quick and easy to make. Then just mix with your favorite steamed or boiled veggies. It is also very healthy because there is no added fat or oil in it. When you eat salads, a lot of the time, the dressing is the problem for healthy eating.
Broccoli is one of the super vegetables, and you would like to eat a lot, but maybe not plain. Instead of cheese or butter, use this Sesame Sauce, and it doesn’t add very much calories.
