For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a drizzle of toasted sesame oil just before serving. If you prefer a softer broccoli, steam for a minute or two longer. Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. This dish pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
