Pickled Broccoli Stems

Instructions

Use a mandoline, sharp knife, or vegetable peeler to slice the broccoli very thinly. Place the sliced broccoli stems in a quart-size jar, or (2) 16-ounce jars.

In a small stainless saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves, about 2 minutes.

Pour over the broccoli stems, then set aside to cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The pickled stems will keep nicely in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
