BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:
- Cut broccoli into bite sized pieces.
- Boil in salted water for about 5 to 7 minutes (broccoli should just start to soften).
- Rinse under COLD water (to stop the cooking).
- Dry to remove any excess water.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil until hot.
- Add the garlic and pepper flakes.
- Sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the broccoli and "some" of the broth. (I say "some" as you don't want it soaking in it, you just want it to help steam and add flavor)
- Cook for 2 to 4 minutes (depending on the way you like your broccoli, tender or crisp) stirring the entire time. Season lightly with table salt.
- As everyone has their own tastes, increase or decrease the garlic and or pepper flakes as desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns with yellow or brown spots, as this indicates that the broccoli is old or has been damaged.
- Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets and rinse them well under cold water. You can also blanch the broccoli by placing it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transferring it to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This will help to preserve the broccoli's bright green color and crunchy texture.
- Make the zesty sauce ahead of time: The zesty sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to cook the broccoli.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to broccoli, you can also use other vegetables in this recipe, such as carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini. Simply cut the vegetables into 1-inch pieces and add them to the skillet along with the broccoli.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The broccoli will lose its鮮豔的綠色and crispy texture if it is allowed to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This broccoli with zesty sauce is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant color and tangy flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
