Burokkorii to mini tomato no gomaae / broccoli and grape tomatoes in sesame dressing
A little side dish to add green and red to your plate. It is very quick to make, as chopping and microwaving broccoli are basically all you need to do (other than preparing dressing, which is also very easy). Fresh tomatoes ensure a light taste for this gomaae, which sometimes can be a bit heavy.

<Notes>
- Avoid cooling cooked broccoli in water, as it makes broccoli soggy.
- Microwaving sake and mirin is optional. It is mainly to eliminate their alcohol content. Heating also makes mixing with tahini easier.
- The gomaae dressing above is a very basic version. Add any spice you like, such as ichimi togarashi, cayenne pepper, karashi mustard or ginger (julienned, grated, or juice only). Chili sauce, tobanjan chili bean paste or yogurt is also nice (although these add some sodium).
- Broccoli alone is first mixed with dressing, because putting lots of ingredients at once tends to leave some broccoli unflavored due to the minimal amount of dressing (another technique to prevent overconsumption of sodium).
