If you’re going to be healthy and fit, you’re going to have to eat vegetables. For me that’s not a problem, I love veggies. I spent some time as a vegetarian, vegan, and even a raw vegan. I attribute that experience to my love for veggies because it taught me how to make them taste good.

I make a lot of Chinese food, and this is always served on the side. It keeps me away from the white rice and dumplings (well, most of the time).

Sesame Broccoli
2 heads of fresh broccoli, cut off the florets
1 tsp fresh ginger root, minced
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp sesame seeds

In a dry frypan on medium heat, toss and shake the sesame seeds until lightly browned. Set aside.

In the bottom of your serving bowl whisk together the ginger root, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lemon juice.

Steam the broccoli for about seven minutes uncovered. Broccoli should still be brightly coloured, tender-crisp, and NOT too soggy.

Transfer the broccoli to the serving bowl and toss with the sauce and sesame seeds.
