Broccoli with Orange-Sesame Sauce

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup(s) orange juice
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp ginger root, grated and peeled
  • 2 tsp cornstarch, dissolved in 4 tsp water
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 pound(s) broccoli, florets, steamed
Makes 4 Servings
  1. In a small nonstick saucepan, combine orange juice, honey and gingerroot; bring to a boil. Add the dissolved cornstarch and return to a boil, stirring; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and sesame oil.
  2. Place broccoli in a serving bowl. Top with the sauce and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
 WW POINTS VALUE: 2 pts.

Note: This recipe appears on www.weightwatchers.com. This is a wonderful and easy side dish that can be served with chicken, beef, pork and even fish. The sauce will perk up the broccoli and anything else. I do highly recommend putting this dish on top of rice for an authentic Asian taste. I guarantee you will never order Chinese take-out again after cooking this dish.
