Sesame Garlic Buds Ingredients

1/2 pound Garlic buds choose ones with solid stems and no open flowers4 teaspoons Lemon juice fresh
2 tablespoons Butter 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds toasted

Instructions for Sesame Garlic Buds

Trim any dry bases and tips off the garlic bud stems. If the buds are large (over 1/2 inch), split them lengthwise, leaving both halves attached to the stem.

Cook garlic buds in boiling water until almost crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.

Mix lemon juice and soy sauce and set aside.

Melt butter with sesame oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic buds and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.

Toss cooked garlic buds in soy-lemon mix to coat.

Season with pepper and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
