Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 large bunch fresh broccolini, ends trimmed
  • 1 red pepper (hot or mild), sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 12 scallions, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 lime, sliced into wedges
  • red peppers flakes, for garnish

Peanut Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/2 cup high quality peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 large pinch red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons (or more) hot water
  • optional: 1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce

Instructions

  1. To make the peanut sauce, saute the sesame oil and garlic clove in a small saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add in the ginger, peanut butter and cocout aminos.
  2. Turn the heat to very low heat. Swirl with a fork and mix to combine. slowly add in the rice wine vinegar, red pepper flakes and hot water.
  3. Continue to stir to combine – add more water if needed to thin out so that it forms a sauce but it still thick and creamy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  4. In another saucepan, heat the seasame oil up over medium/high heat.
  5. When the pan is hot, add the broccolini to the pan and let sit for 2 minutes or until the underside is browned and toasted. Flip over with tongs and cook for another 2 minutes.
  6. Add 2-3 tablespoons of peanut sauce to the pan with the broccolini. Toss with tongs and serve on a plate. Drizzle 1-2 more tablespoons of sauce on top (serve the rest at the table). Garnish with sliced red peppers, roasted peanuts, scallions and red pepper flakes. Squeeze a lime wedge on top and serve with the rest.

Notes

High quality peanut butter is just peanuts and maybe salt – nothing else. Stir slightly and measure.

If needed blend the sauce with an immersion blender to make it super smooth.
