Ingredients

2 tablespoons dark miso

1 1/2 tablespoons toasted white or black sesame seeds

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1/2 cup rice or soy milk

4 cups broccoli florets, (cut from about 2 pounds of whole broccoli heads)

2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper

Preparation

In a small bowl, mix miso, sesame seeds, lemon juice, and oil. Slowly add the milk, stirring well. For a thinner sauce, add more liquid.

Arrange broccoli florets in a steamer basket over a small amount of water. Steam florets until bright green and just tender, about 5 minutes.

Transfer to serving dish; drizzle with sauce and garnish with red pepper.
