Trim and peel the broccolini stems but keep long - if there are large leaves on the top keep them on, but remove any leaves on the stalk. |

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. I do not salt the water because of the soy sauce but you may want to lightly salt. |

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the sesame oil and garlic. Gently saute garlic until soft- do not brown you just want to release the lovely flavor. It should take 3-4 minutes. Add the soy sauce. |
