How To Boil Broccoli?

• Fill half of a pan with water and add a pinch of salt, which helps soften the broccoli and maintain its bright green color. Boil over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, prepare the broccoli. Cut a broccoli head into medium-sized flowers. A florist should look like a small tree. Cut each body to make it shorter and smoother, and divide it into two to equalize the larger ones. You can throw the broccoli handle and fry it in the pan.
• Place the flowers in a container and rinse under the flowing tap. Then, gently place in the boiled water container. Reduce the temperature by one step, cover the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes.
• Check a few flowers with a knife. If the blade easily enters the broccoli, it has softened to the proper consistency. Carefully strain the pot.
• Be sure to strain the broccoli thoroughly before serving.
