Ingredients

4 servings

10 ounces broccoli stems (about 4 stems, peeled and trimmed)
1 cup sugar
1⅓ cups rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic

Steps

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.
