Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 medium-sized head of broccoli
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1 green onion chopped + sesame seeds, for topping (optional)

Method
 

  1. Start by pre-heating the oven to 400°F and greasing a baking sheet with the olive oil.
  2. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the water, flour & garlic powder.
  4. Dunk each piece of broccoli into the mixture (this can be done by either putting all the broccoli into the bowl and mixing or individually dunking each piece).
  5. Place the battered broccoli on the greased baking sheet (letting excess batter drip off before placing down).
  6. Cook broccoli for 35 minutes (flipping halfway)- they should be nice and crispy when done.
  7. While they are cooking, make the sauce by whisking together the gochujang, sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin, and liquid smoke in a small bowl.
  8. When the broccoli is done cooking, put the pieces in a large mixing bowl and toss them in the sauce (all the broccoli should be lightly coated).
  9. Top with green onions and sesame seeds (if desired) and serve!
