I’ve learned the right process of blanching broccoli and realized that I had been doing it wrong all my life!
Now this is the best way to give broccoli and any green veggies a vibrant colour and enjoy it with a beautiful crunchiness in the middle!

Steps

10 minutes prep + cooking

1

Separate the broccoli florets. Peel the thick stem and slice it instead of throwing it.
2

Boil a lot of water in a deep pot. Make sure the pot is wide enough where each broccoli floret can have its own space 😆 prepare a bow of ice and cold water in the meantime
3

Once the water start boiling and you can clearly see the bubbles on the surface, throw the broccoli.
4

When you add the broccoli, the water temperature will decrease. You need to bring it to a boil as quick as possible so best to add the lid on. Cook for TWO MINUTES ONLY!
5

After two minutes, remove the lid and move the broccoli quickly to the super cold icy water to stop cooking. Leave it there for around 5-10 minutes
6

Drain, pat dry to remove excess water, sprinkle some salt and enjoy!
