Korean Broccoli Side Dish (Banchan)

Prepare the broccoli by ripping it into bite-sized pieces.

In a pot of boiling water, add the broccoli and blanch for 1-2 minutes.

Immediately remove the broccoli and transfer it to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a separate bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing together minced garlic, salt, black pepper, sesame oil, and sesame seeds.

Add the blanched broccoli to the marinade and mix well to coat everything evenly.

Store the broccoli side dish in an airtight container to enjoy throughout the week.
