In a non stick pan add a head of broccoli florets an 1/8 of water, some minced garlic, and a dot (and I mean a dot) of sesame oil. put the lid on the non stick pan and turn it down to low so the water simmers and steams the brccoli. Once it seems soft enough add some soy and crank the heat with the lid off and give it a bit of charring. Then serve with the pan fried salmon and steamed rice. The whole meal takes as long to cook as the rice as the broccoli takes about 10 mins, the salmon about 6-7 mins and whatever method you use to cook the rice.
This is actually my kids "Special Dinner" that they request when they are allowed to have whatever they want... it even beats take away
Mine is a pasta sauce - some nice ripe tomatoes (maybe 4) - diced (I dont bother skinning them, but you could if you wanted to), 1 chopped shallot (or small onion), 1 crushed garlic clove, fresh thyme, parsley and oregano (I have these in my garden!) and a bay leaf and some verjuice or white wine (about 1/3 cup).
Gently fry the shallot/onion and garlic in a small amount of olive oil. when softened, add tomatoes until the juice is being released. Add herbs and season with salt & pepper. when the juice is begining to disappear, add the verjuice or white wine. Cook on a medium heat (simmer) until reduced and serve over freshly cooked pasta. Is soooo yummo! I add some parmesan over it too, but you don't have to - it's absolutely delicious anyway!
