Place the broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl and add ~2 tablespoons of water. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate or a damp paper towel.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Toss the broccoli, then cover again and microwave for another 2-3 minutes, or until the stems are tender.
Drain any excess water from the bowl.
Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and sesame seeds if using. Toss until the broccoli is evenly coated. Enjoy :)
