MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Broccoli With Tofu (Broccoli dubu-muchim) Categories: Korean, Asian, Sidedish, Seandennis Yield: 4 Servings 14 oz Broccoli; trimmed 1 ts Kosher salt 8 oz Medium or medium-firm tofu 2 cl Garlic; minced 1 Green onion; chopped 1 tb Toasted sesame oil 2 ts Toasted sesame seeds 2 ts Kosher salt Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium high heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, add the tofu, and cook for 3 minutes until the tofu softens a bit. Take out the tofu with a large spoon (or slotted spoon) and put it in a small bowl. Let it cool. Add the broccoli to the same boiling hot water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until tender and bright green, but still crispy. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon. Drain and rinse under cold running water to clean it and set the color. Drain well. Put the broccoli into a large bowl. Add the tofu, but first squeeze out any excess water with both hands. Crumble it by hand or with a wooden spoon. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and add the garlic, green onion, and sesame oil. Gently mix everything together by hand. Transfer to a serving plate or bowl and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Serve right away. You can refrigerate the leftovers for up to 3 days. Notes: "Some of you are probably familiar with this dish because many Korean restaurants serve it as a side dish. This is a more modern Korean dish as broccoli is not traditionally a Korean ingredient for cooking until the 80s. My late grandma would not make this, for example. I'm not sure who invented it but it's a great idea because you get good protein from tofu and plenty of vitamins in broccoli. It's a good combination and with such a generous amount of toasted sesame oil the dish is nutty and delicious and has a very Korean taste. We Koreans typically serve it as a side dish for rice, noodles, or a meat dish like Korean barbecue or roasted chicken like I showed in the video. You can also substitute broccoli with chrysanthemum greens (ssuk-gat in Korean) or bunch spinach."
