Pickled Broccoli Stems

These fast pickled stems solely require the next components:

• broccoli stems
• sugar
• rice wine vinegar
• lime juice
• sesame oil
• garlic

You wish to peel the skin of the broccoli stems and minimize away any woody ends earlier than slicing it. After peeling, use a mandoline, sharp knife, or vegetable peeler to slice the broccoli very thinly.

Place the sliced broccoli stems in a heat-proof quart-size jar, or (2) 16-ounce jars. In a small stainless saucepan, mix the sugar, vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, and garlic. Carry to a boil over medium warmth.

Stir till the sugar fully dissolves. That may take nearly 2 minutes.

Pour the recent brine over the broccoli stems, then put aside to chill. Cowl and refrigerate for no less than 1 hour.

The pickled stalks will preserve properly within the fridge for as much as 1 week. You could end up opening the fridge simply to sneak a pair pickles!
