Health and fertility benefits of Chinese Broccoli Recipe | MyRecipes

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

1 to 1 1/2 pounds Chinese broccoli (gai lan) or regular broccoli (see notes)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil

Instructions

Rinse broccoli. Pull off and discard any yellow or damaged leaves; trim off and discard stem ends. If stalks have a tough, fibrous skin, peel it off. If stalks are thicker than 1/2 inch, cut lengthwise to that size. Cut stalks, including leaves and florets, into 2- to 3-inch lengths.
In a 5- to 6-quart covered pan over high heat, bring about 2 quarts water to a boil. Add broccoli and cook, uncovered, just until barely tender to bite, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain. Pour onto a platter.
In a small pitcher or bowl, mix soy sauce and sesame oil. Drizzle over broccoli.
