Broccoli with Sesame Seeds, Garlic, and Ginger

This is the most healthy delicious way to prepare broccoli.   Before I invented this recipe, I was a once a week at the most broccoli eater, but this will change me for life.

The sesame oil should be from Asia, and very pungent.  Get a small bottle in an Asian store, store in the refrigerator,and use up fast.  Sesame oil has a high smoking point, so it won't burn your vegetables.

Ingredients:
Broccoli
Sesame oil
2-3 cloves fresh garlic
1 knob of fresh ginger
Sesame seeds, black or white

Instructions:
Rinse the broccoli, cut the stem off, and cut the head into florets.  You can also peel and slice the stems.
Put the florets into a bowl into the microwave uncovered and press Vegetable.   The broccoli should emerge partly cooked and still bright green.
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on medium heat.   When hot, add 2-3 Tbsp of sesame oil and heat.
Chop 2-3 cloves of peeled garlic and a knob of peeled ginger and saute, stirring often.   Add the sesame seeds and sizzle a moment or so.
Add the cooked broccoli to the pan, and stir fry for a minute.  The broccoli should remain bright green. 
Put the broccoli mixture into a bowl, drizzle sesame oil on it, and serve.
