Equipment

1 10-12 inch stainless steel skillet with a lid
1 Pair of Tongs
Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

12 oz Broccolini about 2 small bunches
1 tablespoon Canola Oil
1 ½ tablespoon Lower Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Chili Crisp see note
1 ½ teaspoon Unseasoned Rice Vinegar
1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds, optional

Instructions

Trim the bottom inch off of the broccolini. Then, slice any stems larger than ½" in diameter in half lengthwise.
12 oz Broccolini
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, chili crisp, rice vinegar, and maple syrup. Stir and set aside.
1 ½ tablespoon Lower Sodium Soy Sauce, 1 tablespoon Chili Crisp, 1 ½ teaspoon Unseasoned Rice Vinegar, 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
Heat a 10-12" stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the canola oil and broccolini and immediately place the lid on the skillet..
1 tablespoon Canola Oil
Cook the broccolini for 5-7 minutes, removing the lid every minute to toss the broccolini with tongs. If you notice too many brown spots for your liking when stirring, reduce the heat to medium-low. The broccoli should still be bright green, and should feel tender-crisp when pierces with a fork.
Remove the lid and add the sauce to the pan, stirring with the tongs until some of the liquid has evaporated and the rest clings to the broccolini. Top with toasted sesame seeds and serve.
1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds, optional

Notes

For chili crisp, I used this Trader Joe's version, but I also love Momofuku's!

The important part of this recipe is cooking with the lid on the skillet! This keeps the moisture inside the pan and gently steams the broccolini while also stir frying it.

You may need to reduce the heat to medium-low during the cooking process because every stove is different! I like browned pieces, but if you notice too much brown when stirring, turn the heat down to medium-low and continue.
