PREPARATION

TO MAKE THE SPICY PEANUT SAUCE:

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Garnish with green onions.

TO MAKE THE BROCCOLI SALAD:

1. Add tablespoon olive oil to a large pan or wok, and heat over high heat. Once pan is very hot, add broccoli to pan and cook until broccoli is charred in spots and can be pierced with a fork but is still crisp, about 8 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper before removing to a large platter or bowl.
2. Add 1-2 tablespoons water to spicy peanut sauce and whisk until thinned to an easily pourable consistency.
3. Drizzle peanut sauce over broccoli then top with Fresno chilis, garlic chips, cilantro, and chopped peanuts.

TO MAKE THE GARLIC CHIPS:

1. Add sliced garlic to a small saucepan with olive oil. Add more oil if garlic is not completely covered. Heat over medium (oil will be very bubbly) until garlic is browned, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove garlic chips from oil and and cool on a paper towel
