 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      head          broccoli
    2      tablespoons   olive oil
      1/4  cup           rice wine vinegar
      1/4  cup           soy sauce
    2      tablespoons   sesame oil
    4      tablespoons   sesame seeds -- toasted
 
      Wash broccoli, discarding leaves and toughest part of stem. Blanch 
 entire head in boiling water for one minute. Rinse under cold water. Break 
 off florets and cut remaining stem (peeled, if desired) into 2" pieces.
       Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pour olive oil onto a baking sheet. 
 Spread broccoli pieces in one layer, turning to coat with olive oil. Roast 
 at 450 degrees for 5 minutes, turn broccoli pieces over, and continue 
 roasting until broccoli begins to brown, about 5 minute more.
       Whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir in 3 
 tablespoons sesame seeds. When broccoli is done, transfer to a bowl and 
 pour dressing over it, stirring gently to coat. Sprinkle with remaining 
 tablespoon sesame seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
