ingredients

¹⁄₂ lb broccoli
salt
Tofu Dressing
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
¹⁄₂ lb tofu, drained
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon honey or 1/2 teaspoon mirin
Garnish
chopped walnuts

directions

Break the broccoli into florets and parboil them in lightly salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes or until just tender; the stems should still be a little crisp. Drain immediately and rinse in cold water. Drain well.
Lightly toast the sesame seeds; tip into a suribachi or grinder and grind to a paste. Blend in the tofu, lemon juice, salt, and honey or mirin, mixing well to make a smooth, creamy dressing.
Pat the broccoli dry and divide it among 4 small bowls. Spoon a little of the dressing on top and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
