Cooking Instructions
- 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!

The Best Way To Keep Broccoli Fresh! The Best Way To Keep Broccoli Fresh!
Broccoli sold in the U.S. is too big. (LOL) I love broccoli so that makes me happy, but they won't fit in my refrigerator's vegetable compartment! So I was forced to store them in the back of the fridge. I used up one stalk, and took another one out in week 2 - and what do you know, it was still very fresh and nice. The method I'd used just by accident worked very well.* The point is to store broccoli on a regular shelf in the refrigerator, not the vegetable bin! That's it.* If you store it in the refrigerator, the broccoli florets may open up! Recipe by Tomorin0203 cookpad.japan -

How to Boil Bright Green Broccoli in the Microwave How to Boil Bright Green Broccoli in the Microwave
I didn't really put much thought into this method but after I finished boiling the broccoli like this it turned out to be the best broccoli that I had ever made. Please adjust the heating time depending on your model of microwave and the broccoli texture that you're aiming for.Please sprinkle the salt over the broccoli evenly. Even if you think the broccoli might end up a bit too salty, it won't taste too salty in the end. Feel free to use however much you like though. When the broccoli has cooked, drain or pat away the moisture for a vivid colour and salty flavour! Recipe by Aki kitchen *aki cookpad.japan -
