Chinese Grilled Broccoli recipe

This is an amazingly easy grilled broccoli side dish to make and it has exactly the same famous Asian sesame taste that many restaurants serve.

This particular Chinese broccoli recipe depends on a 4 hour marinade with sesame oil and soy sauce to let the flavors really penetrate the broccoli florets.

The marinade is what gives the broccoli all its flavor and if you want it spicier then just double up the Sambal Oelek (asian chili sauce).

As you heat up the grill heat up an oiled wok, once its ready the broccoli stir fries very quickly.

Top with sesame seeds just before its finished grilling and they toast up too.
