What a delightful, simply, fiber rich side dish to go with fish, chicken, pork or beef.  The skinny for each serving, 77 calories and 3 grams of fat I especially love it with my recipe for Crock Pot, Skinny Chicken Teriyaki or Roasted Asian-Style Lean Pork Tenderloin.
Ingredients
- 8 cups broccoli cut into florets
- 1½ teaspoons sesame oil or olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- Heat oil in pan. Add garlic, broccoli, soy sauce and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until heated and still a bit crunchy. Remove from heat and add to serving plate.
- In the same pan, toast the sesame seed for about 1½ minutes until browned.
- Sprinkle seeds all over the broccoli and serve.
