Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 large broccoli stalk

1 teaspoon dark sesame oil

1 quart spring water

1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds

1 1/4 tablespoons miso -- up to 11/2

1 quart spring water

 

The rich flavor of sesame makes this a favorite in our household.

 

Separate the top of the broccoli from the stem and cut it into

flowerets. Slice the stem into 1-inch-thick pieces. Saute the broccoli

stems in the oil. Add water to cover the vegetable and bring to a

boil. Add all but 1/2 cup of the remaining water and cover the pot. Bring

to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the broccoli stems are

soft. To keep the broccoli flowerets green, pour the remaining 1/2 cup of

water into a separate pan and boil, uncovered, until their color begins to

deepen. Add the cooking water to soup but set the broccoli flowerets

aside. Thoroughly grind the sesame seeds in a suribachi. Add the miso to

the suribachi with the ground sesame seeds; then add 1/2 cup of the broth

from the pot and puree. Add the puree to the soup and simmer for a few

minutes. Serve, floating a few broccoli flowerets in each bowl.
