Ingredients
 
 

  • 4.2 oz broccoli
  • 1 Tbsp white miso (You can substitute it with other types of miso; if you do, adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar.)
  • ½ Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions
 

  • Separate the broccoli florets from the stalk. If the florets are large, cut them in half or into quarters. (If you are using the stalk, peel off the tough outer layer and slice it into thin, bite-sized pieces.)

Notes

  • You can store it in the refrigerator for up to a day, but since it tends to become watery over time, it is best to eat it right after tossing the broccoli with the sumiso sauce. The sauce itself can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month before mixing.
