Asian Broccoli with Sesame

1. Divide the broccoli into florets and blanch in a large pot of boiling salted water for about 3 minutes, until bright green and firm to the bite. Then drain and refresh in ice water to stop the cooking process.
2. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté briefly until aromatic but not browned.
3. Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet and stir well to coat with the garlic oil.
4. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey and mix well. Sauté the broccoli for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
5. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
6. Arrange the broccoli on a serving platter and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve warm.
