Steps

1. Place 1 head of broccoli in a bowl or large bag, fill with enough water to cover, and soak for 5-10 minutes before rinsing.
   🕒 01:26
2. Thoroughly drain the broccoli.
   🕒 03:39
3. Prepare one Ai Wrap.
   🕒 03:52
4. Separate the broccoli into florets. Carefully cut into the base of each floret with a knife and separate.
   🕒 04:25
5. For larger florets, make a cut about halfway into the base and gently split them into bite-sized pieces with your thumb. (This is the secret!) Cutting florets in half vertically can cause them to fall apart, so cutting and then splitting by hand results in a beautiful finish.
   🕒 05:41
6. For the broccoli stem, cut off the dried base, peel off the tough outer skin thickly, and cut the juicy part into bite-sized pieces.
   🕒 07:28
7. Place all cut broccoli into the Ai Wrap.
   🕒 08:50
8. Microwave the broccoli in the Ai Wrap at 600W for 4 minutes. (This is the secret!) Microwaving locks in flavor and cooks the broccoli as if steaming, making it delicious. A slightly tender texture is ideal for sesame dressing.
   🕒 09:25
9. After microwaving, place the broccoli on a tray or plate and let it continue cooking with residual heat.
   🕒 10:12
10. In a heatproof, large bowl, add 1 tbsp Peanut Butter.
    🕒 10:27
11. Microwave the peanut butter for 20 seconds to melt.
    🕒 10:45
12. To the melted peanut butter, add 1 tsp Soy Sauce, 1 tsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 1 tsp Sugar, and 2 tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds. Mix until well combined.
    🕒 11:03
13. Remove the microwaved broccoli from the Ai Wrap and add it to the seasoning bowl, including any moisture. Toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
    🕒 12:44
14. In a small bowl, combine 1 pinch Sugar and a pinch of Salt and mix until combined to create the "magic powder." (This is the secret!) When the sesame dressing flavor seems a bit bland, sprinkling this "magic powder" just before serving tightens the taste and makes it significantly more delicious.
    🕒 14:08
15. Sprinkle the "magic powder" over the dressed broccoli and toss lightly.
    🕒 14:40
16. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy. If you find the taste is too mild, adjust with the "magic powder" right before eating.
