Sesame Soy Broccoli

This recipe actually came off the bag that I buy my broccoli in (it's a huge freezer bag of broccoli florets from Costco).  It is quick and simple, but packed full of flavor.  Basically any time I'm cooking broccoli, my husband requests this recipe.  Sometimes I oblige and sometimes I don't, but when I do I never regret it.  I especially love the contrast of the bright green broccoli with the little white sesame seeds--it is just so pretty!  And yes, it tastes as good as it looks.

Meanwhile, combine the sugar, olive oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved.
