The next post will talk about Debilitating Boredom Syndrome and how sauces can be just the cure if you’re agonizing over having to eat more broccoli, or spinach, or zucchini.\u00a0 This Simple Chinese Sauce is a perfect example.\u00a0 One of our class participants, CSU Extension Agent Ann Zander, couldn’t believe something so simple could turn plain old broccoli into a treat.<\/p>\n

But here’s the thing about sauces:\u00a0 Everyone’s tastes are so different<\/em>.\u00a0 You have to taste, taste, taste and adjust.\u00a0 Use the following combination as a starting point, but be sure to add more lime or soy sauce as desired.\u00a0 Toasted sesame oil can be quite strong, so add only a few drops at a time if you should want more.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice<\/li>\n
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil*<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Combine in a small bowl and allow to sit for 5 minutes or so.\u00a0 Taste on a vegetable piece and adjust flavors.\u00a0 Be sure to stir immediately before serving to make sure ingredients are evenly combined.\u00a0 While this sauce adds welcome zing to broccoli, it can also be used on many other vegetables, including green beans, zucchini, spinach and stir-fried cabbage.<\/p>\n

    *Note:\u00a0 Toasted sesame oil is different than plain sesame oil that is used for stir-frying.\u00a0 The toasted variety is dark brown in color and has the smell characteristic of Chinese cooking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
