I had broccoli as banchan many times in Korea (between 2003 and 2012). It wasn’t too uncommon in Gyeonggi-do. However, what I do remember was that it was almost always bland and unseasoned (if anything, it was served with a strip or carrot or two). I’m anxious to try it with your seasoning. Thanks! I’m cooking your dakbokkeumtang tonight and I feel obligated to serve a green veggie. Broccoli is all I really have. Anything I can do with frozen green peas?
it would be great to know, all recipes long last in fridge or room tempature. i will make this tomorrow ,its gonna tasty.
I absolutely LOVE IT! I got some broccoli at work and can’t stop eating this salad, it’s perfect! I might test it with other vegetables too soon. Thank you!
This is awesome! I made it to go with fish cake soup (which was also delicious, thank you Maangchi) and the braised baby potatoes for dinner. My boyfriend and I gobbled it up. And then I had the leftovers with some creamy turkey soup from a local deli, and it was a perfect complement to that, too!!! This is so versatile, healthy, and what a great flavor and texture. Keeps well in the fridge too. It’s going to be my go-to vegetable dish from now on =)
I’m glad you like this recipe!
Oh, i tried this last week but forgot to share the pics on time. I am so loving your site! I don’t normally cook, but with your recipes and easy to follow instructions, I am loving it now!

I have made this a few times now. It is such a great recipe. Most recently I grabbed a bag of broccolette (also known by the trade name, Broccolini — a hybrid cross of broccoli and Chinese kale) at the grocery store. Broccolette works wonderfully as a substitute for broccoli in this recipe.
I love Broccolette,too. We call it Chinese broccoli here in New York. : ) Delicious and healthy stuff! Thank you for sharing the info!
Hi, I made some minor changes, I used balsamic vinegar glaze in place of the vinegar and used hot pepper sauce (Korean kind) because I didnt have the ground pepper, turned out deliciously. Love your recipes.
It sounds great!
I just got done finishing making this and eating it in 2 minutes! It’s so delicious!! Quick, easy, simple and most importantly tasty! :) I think this dressing would be great on any type of florets…nice time I will try it with asparagus and cauliflower!! Yummm, the red pepper flakes truly adds a kick.
“Quick, easy, simple and most importantly tasty! :)” Exactly that’s what I’m saying! : ) asparagus and cauliflower sound great!
Hi Maangchi… I just made this for lunch a while ago for my family. We had it with sisig tuna (Filipino recipe for tuna), and I can say it was a perfect combination. They really went well with each other.. When I cook broccoli, I usually steam it , and make a white sauce for it.. But I just made pasta with white sauce the other week.. I wanted to try out something different. Your recipe came at the perfect time :)
I’m glad you like this recipe!
Maangchi, I really miss your posts! I’m going to try your broccoli recipe. Thank you for uploading!
Let me know how yours turns out! : )
I am currently trying out this recipe…in the form of your broccoli pickle recipe! I am going to be trying your gamjajeon recipe as well. I have also made bap, nurungji, and sungnyung. I love nurungji! It reminds me of my favorite Japanese rice crackers and is much healthier because there is a lot less sodium I think. Keep up the wonderful videos :D!
Cheers to your nurungji! : ) Happy cooking!
This looks really good and healthy! I think I read somewhere that boiling broccoli lightly as you do here is the best way to make its nutrients available. I wonder if this recipe would be good with cauliflower…
Fette Sau is delicious!! :)
oh you also know that place! I think cauliflower will work well, too.
Greetings Maangchi! Cute hairdo. I must try this next time for banchan. It’s so quick ‘n easy, and looks delish.You eat it so deliciously at the end lol.
Sometimes I steam and sometimes I’ll poach broccoli..but microwave?? Olneydiana, I think you will notice the difference in taste and texture if you tried steaming the broccoli. And there was also a study that showed that microwaving can deprive the full nutrients of vegetables.
Lol..i actually did make this tonight. I made fried rice, and for banchan, I had this broccoli dish, kimchi, and cucumbers (dipped in gochujang)….simple quick and easy meals to satiate my hunger when I’m not in the mood for heavy cooking. The broccoli was delicious. I also added toasted sesame seeds to mine, for that crunch. I loved the savory tang of the dressing.
Hi – I microwave broccoli. I put it in a bowl, and place a small plate on top. Set microwave for 4 minutes, and it comes out beautifully! Cheers!
