This recipe uses a cooking method to concentrate the umami, preventing it from becoming watery and ensuring every part of the broccoli, including the core, is delicious. It's a versatile side dish that can be enjoyed as a warm salad or chilled.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Broccoli: 1 head
  • Canned Tuna (in oil or water): 1 small can
  • Finely Chopped Onion: 2 tbsp

Seasonings

  • Olive Oil: 1 tbsp
  • Salt: pinch
  • Mayonnaise: 2-3 tbsp
  • Soy Sauce: 1/2 tbsp
  • Coarsely Ground Black Pepper: to taste

Steps

  1. Cut broccoli into florets. For larger florets, make a slit in the stem and break them apart.
  2. Peel the tough outer skin of the thick broccoli stem with a peeler until the tender part is exposed. This is the secret! Peeling the tough skin, which is difficult with a knife, is easy with a peeler to expose the tender core.
  3. Slice the peeled broccoli stem diagonally.
  4. Lightly rinse the broccoli florets and diagonally sliced stem.
  5. Place the **1 head of broccoli**, still wet from rinsing, into a frying pan. Add **1 tbsp of olive oil** and a **pinch of salt**, then cover with a lid. This is the secret! Steam it with the natural moisture from the broccoli and olive oil. Minimal water is used to prevent it from becoming watery.
  6. Once you hear sizzling, reduce the heat, and shake the pan occasionally while steaming evenly.
  7. Open the lid and add the **1 small can of tuna** to the steamed broccoli. Stir-fry briefly. This is the secret! Stir-frying the tuna enhances its unique aroma and flavor, making it even more delicious.
  8. Turn off the heat and add **2-3 tbsp of mayonnaise**. Mix gently. This is the secret! Adding mayonnaise while it's hot can cause separation or make it watery, so mix after turning off the heat.
  9. Add **2 tbsp of finely chopped onion** and mix to coat everything. This is the secret! Adding onion provides a crisp texture and a refreshing taste.
  10. Finish by adding **1/2 tbsp of soy sauce** to enhance the flavor.
  11. Serve on a plate and sprinkle generously with **coarsely ground black pepper, to taste**, if desired. This is the secret! It can be enjoyed as a warm hot salad or after cooling down.
