Asian Crunchy Broccoli Stem Salad

This broccoli stem salad is refreshing in the summer, strangely addictive, and is a great way to use up broccoli stems!

Step 1: Gather your broccoli stems together, remove the outer part of the stem, and chop into bite size pieces.

Add 2 cloves of finely minced garlic and sprinkle with some salt (½ tsp). Stir and let marinate for at least 20 minutes. Pour out any water that may have collected during the marination time.Add a splash of soy sauce (to taste), about ½ teaspoon of sesame oil (or more, to taste), about a pinch sugar (or more, to taste), and red pepper flakes to taste. Eat immediately, or for better results, let it marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
